I'm not saying men are not disentvantaged. I'm saying that this data is inconclusive. There are plenty of statistics that say that men have disadvantages, but this statistic is not useful.

This is bad science. First off, they brag about a new way of measuring things is the worst way of inventing stuff. Because it usually means throwing lots of old data out the window and starting fresh. Second, it's some institute of pseudoscience that nobody heard about that made this incredible discovery. Third, they measured some pretty weird data.

The data they for unknown reasons restricted themselves to use was possibilities for education, life-expectancy and self-reported life satisfaction. Getting educated might be the dream of academics, but for normal people it can mean few job-prospects and high student loans. Life expectancy is great, but parts of it is genetic. And, there were no people with natural science available to do that analysis. Self reported satisfaction of life is a pretty hard thing to measure, it will usually not give a good indicator. Particularily across cultures. Some places people are grumpyer than other places.

Overall, feel free to look at scientific data. There's lot of it. But, this particular kind of data is of low quality. Look at something else instead. For instance suicide-rate, education possibilities for stuff that actually gives a decent job and so on. There's plenty of stuff to choose from.
