Data collection initiative

One thing I think could be helpful and not all that hard are two online data bases:

A list of laws, executive orders and other examples of legalized discrimination against men, giving by country the year, the policy in question, who forwarded the legislation, a one paragraph summary and links giving more detail. This comes up all the time here and several people here often provide links, but it would be great if these were all available in a single, easily accessed database. In fact, I think this should apply to any legal policy of discrimination, not just against men, the obvious message to any reader men are discriminated against far more under the law.
A similar database addressing all the disinformation propagated by feminist that the general public believes to be true, but giving more accurate information. For example a section labeled voting rights, showing women voted in colonial America and when the U.S. was founded. A section on college rape culture showing the bias in feminist surveys claiming one in four women were raped and showing official government data put the figure at 6 per 1,000.

Example of a #1 entry could look like:

USA:

Women legally advantaged in job hiring:

1967: Lyndon Johnson (democrat) expands on his previous Executive Order 11246 of 1965 to add women as an advantaged group under affirmative action. This addition due to lobbying efforts on the part of NOW and other women’s groups.

Women legally advantaged in business ownership: 1988:

Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988, introduced by representative John LaFauce, Democrat, begins the process of legally advantaging women small owned businesses over male owned. Women owned small businesses receiving priority in government contracting being eligible for grants and loans not available to male owned businesses.

WEEA, VAWA, selective service exemption, title IX mandates, women’s entrepreneurship act being other examples as well as all the government agencies created by law specifically for women.

There’s a subreddit run by a user here that addresses systemic discrimination you could also use to grab examples from, that includes examples from many countries.

For both of these you could have a form for people to submit legislation not already in the database, submissions requiring a valid source. So, much of the work could essentially be accomplished by crowd sourcing.

This could be a very worthwhile project, but potentially overwhelming. So I’d recommend thinking carefully about how to scope it. A few suggestions on areas that could be included and tracked over time:

Contrast the number and funding levels of women’s health initiatives vs men’s health initiatives. The White House has announced multiple multi-billion dollar programs focused on women’s health while all but ignoring men’s health (even though men keep losing ground to women in life expectancies).
Contrast the number and funding levels of educational assistance programs focused on women vs men.
Contrast the numbers of men and women falsely accused and punished for crimes they didn’t commit.
Contrast the numbers of men and women forced to pay child support for kids that aren’t biologically theirs, and also imprisoned for failing to make court-ordered payments.
Contrast the numbers of registered charitable organizations dedicated to helping women vs those dedicated to helping men.

A great idea

Thank you for the ideas so far people! Are there any social scientists who can chip in too? Can you suggest some research ideas based on collected data?

Maybe a wiki?
