Great, glad men at the top are doing well. Mind telling us how the working class men with no degree in America are doing?
I’ll help you with the research: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/26/upshot/census-relative-income.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/26/upshot/census-relative-income.html.
We can discuss men without it being some grandstanding bs about how they build civilizations; it’s seriously tired rhetoric.

The reason we do that is because we can point to systemic issues that do put those groups behind. Men aren’t “behind.” They still earn more while not getting degrees. They still disproportionately hold a majority of wealth. Maleness isn’t disenfranchised.
There are systemic issues that affect men too.

There are many, many disenfranchised men at the bottom of society...people just ignore them.
There are many, many disenfranchised PEOPLE at the bottom of society.
You commented that men hold a majority of wealth, etc. That statistic is meaningless if you are a man at the bottom. (And there are MANY more men at the bottom than wealthy men.) We can look for ways to help those men be more successful. Or we can look for reasons to "justify" discarding them. I would rather help them out.
