Do you think things will get better? If so, when?

Men as a group have never been and never will be favoured outside of their utility. The only men who have been favoured are the select few individual elites who either rise to power or are given power.

Equality under the law is achievable. Equal in all things is not.

In my own personal view, any legislative solution towards improving men's issues is no different than painting over rust. You've only temporarily patched the problem, but the rust will continue to bubble up and eat away underneath the surface.

If we want to avoid declining as a society, a civilization, possibly even as a species we need to re-think and adjust social attitudes. This is much harder than legislating band-aid solutions.

I don't see this type of change occurring unless we have the support of both men and women. Forget women's support for a moment and think of how difficult it is to convince men of this. Most men are content being good little worker drones and will attack you for showing them the path to freedom. Good luck changing that. Until then, enjoy the decline.

It will change in about twenty years, when the plutocracy will no longer need their feminist lapdogs to fill the workforce with women. Then they will drop their support for the fems, leaving the women to rot in the new underclass.

I don't think who is favoured changes often, but many marginalized groups have got recognition in recent years and decades so maybe there is hope for men. But probably not in your life time. I dunno. How old are you? Not in mine anyway.

Do you think that true equality will ever be achieved?

No. As for the rest, I couldn't guess... but I'm not optimistic.

Its still a mans world despite what people will try and make you believe.

You can see this most of all in older age, in the media etc men are still considered useful and cutting edge or experts with age, women are generally ignored once they pass their prime.

I would always prefer to be a man if i had my time again, its a harder start and a lonelier youth, but this allows you to develop and work on your skills and become something better and better, i think for women they get too much too young and by the time they settle in they become irrelevant (in societies eyes) and pretty much ignored.

Like it or not we generally still respect men as authority figures and experts over women.
