Women receive 50% more college degrees than men. When the situation was reversed, 40 years ago, this was an emergency requiring federal legislation to right this "wrong". Now that the shoe's on the other foot... yawn. And oh by the way, women don't yet outnumber men in technical fields, so now we have to fix that "problem" too.

A man can't get an athletic scholarship unless a woman gets one too. But women getting 50% more degrees? No problem!!

So my question to you is, what is the goal of the women's movement? Is it to make sure that men do not outperform women in any single area? While openly encouraging women in areas where they already outperform men? What's the goal then? Gender supremacy?

So I'd say the goal is, equality. For example. I already mention the college situation. This can be traced back all the way to kindergarten where men score as well or better on tests, but get worse grades all the way through K-12. If that was the case for women, don't you think there would be research studies and task forces and workshops and new rules and legislation and funding? But since it's men, you can't even bring it up without being accused of sexism.

Recent health legislation made it illegal to base health insurance rates on gender, transferring billions of dollars in expenses from women to men overnight. However, it's still legal to base life insurance rates on gender, saving women billions of dollars. Is that equality?

Around 90% of the people who are killed on the job are men. Is that equality?

Men are required to register for the draft, and can be prosecuted and denied employment if they don't, and they can be compelled to give their life for their country. Women can CHOOSE to join the military, in a combat role, but cannot be COMPELLED to. Is that equality?

Put your question in the title, OP. Why the hell did I have to click on this?

And we haven't even touched on yet, longevity and retirement. So not only do men now have the "privilege" of subsidizing women's healthcare, but we have always and still have the "privilege" of subsidizing women's retirements. Guarantee you, if women did not live as long, they would be allowed to retire earlier. But since it's men, well, too bad. Sorry you worked your whole life and then died before you could retire or soon after. Study just came out, 1 in 7 boys born in the UK will not live to see retirement. I don't have the figure for women but we already know it is better for women since they live longer overall. Male privilege. Yeah right.

Thank you for your concern...

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are being genuine. Look at it from everybody else's perspective. You're using a brand new account that only posts in this subreddit, you're asking questions that are already answered in the FAQ, you seem to be equating "men" with "rich white American men", you seem to have already made your mind up, and you end it all with what appears to be a disingenuous "I want to hear your side of the story". Then you jump into the comments and act like you're doing everybody a favour by giving them the opportunity to realise how wrong they are. Is it any wonder you're getting a hostile reaction? You look like a typical anti-MRM sockpuppet trying to wind people up. At best, you're not trying to listen, you're trying to convince people they are wrong.

If you genuinely want to engage with the MRM, you've already burnt bridges. Since your current account has nothing of interest on it, delete it and start again. Do you have an existing Reddit account that you actually use? Then use that to post here. Read the FAQ before asking questions. Don't equate "men" with the extreme minority of men at the very top of society. Don't start with the attitude that the MRM is wrong and needs to prove otherwise. Don't talk as if you're standing in judgement over the MRM. If you follow this advice and keep an open mind, then you're likely to get a better response.
