Welfare policies for unwed mothers, women’s only hospitals, disproportionate research dollars for breast cancer research, divorce laws, laws on custody of children after divorce, registering for draft for war, rules for women being on boards of businesses, set asides for women for small business grants.

Any way I can disprove this?

That 1% of men hold all positions of power is meaningless to the other 99%.

Any policies or laws that were created primarily because of women advocating for it?

How did they get the right to vote in the first place? Men voted for it.

VAWA specifically addresses male-on-female violence, and ignores female-on-male violence.

What time period are you talking about?

The idea that men have all the power, and that women have no influence or power in society stems from the notion we live in a society that cares more about men's needs and desires, and does not care about women's needs and desires.

This is completely false, and is just projection.It's actually the other way around, and these men in positions of power are gynocentric. The fact that the women's march is so large, and is covered by the mainstream media vs what happens at the men's march should already tell you that it is women who have a greater voice when it comes to speaking about gender issues.However, there is even more evidence showing that women do actually have significant influence in society.

Women getting the right to vote has lead to the growth of the welfare state

Women drive the majority of consumer purchasing

Both men and women have a pro female bias

Study in Washington shows that for every 1 organization advocating for men and boys there are 50 for women and girls

Men's health is not give the same attention as women's health, and less funding

Women's group Now was successful in opposing shared parenting bill

Women successfully fought for the Married Women's property act

Yes. Use the Apex Fallacy. Now would be a great time to learn about it.

There's great links in these comments. But showing women have more power will be met with 1 of 2 following reactions.

Dismissal - "No, that doesn't count because reasons."
Praise for the status quo - "Well of course women should hold more power in X situation... Because reasons"

Always bare in mind, that feminist slogans and banners don't get amended after decades of feminists losing debates.

"Men holding more power" is one small manipulatively framed argument within a larger picture of feminist selective outrage.

Education disparities? Don't care.

Work place deaths disparity? I Sleep.

Disparity in life expectancy? Whatever.

Disproportionate public spending on women? Yawn.

More men than women are C.E.O.s? REAL SHIT!!!!!!!!

This Selective Outrage ROBS their arguments of any validity Even If They're Correct. Because they're motivated by securing privileges and NOT correcting inequalities. And you should hold their feet to the fire on this.

The Duluth Model.

The bane of every abused man’s life.

Affirmative action. Grants for girls only in disciplines that already have a female majority. A presidential candidate saying: my vp has to be a black woman, instead of choosing the best person regardless of sex and color.
