[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it's a movement.  I'm not clear that it's "intellectual".  I'd be interested to hear what they have to support their rants -- besides their own shared opinions.

- What would they like to see happen to young white boys? There's school, there's sports, there are a whole host of other activities if parents choose to pursue them. While it is true that there are efforts to support some members of minority groups and girls -- these efforts are linked to the under-representation and under-investment in these groups historically.

- Who is calling them / saying these things?  Note: If you're Justice Kavanaugh, that's because there are very specific concerns that need to be addressed.

- Let's have some stats on that. (Note, the ones that I know about do not suggest anything close to this.  Check the numbers on hiring, firing, and salaries.)

-  Which "media" and what do you mean by "taken over"?  Again, provide some data.  How many head anchors are women and/or minorities?  How many women and minorities have their own news shows?

- White men seem to be doing pretty fine as I see it -- particularly if they're Republican.  How many Senators have been women and/or members of minority groups in the last 100 years?  CEOs of major corporations?  In any case, my point is that I don't feel these assertions are supported by data.

tldr: Got any data to support the rant?   I'll wait.  [/quote]

None of these articles really address the points that OP made though.  Two of the articles talk about "males". Unless you want to assume that "males" only means "white males", again, a bit of data that specifically addresses the original points would be great.

The article about campuses notes that the numbers of women on campuses will exceed the number of men.  It then goes on to list statistics for fields of study that are traditionally female dominated and historically UNDERPAID.   I may be reading this wrong, but the OP's list of complaints don't seem to be focused on the inability of white men to become social workers.

Boys, historically, have been more vulnerable from birth to multiple risk factors.  But none of those things link clearly with the original list of complaints.
