I’ll pop a little observation in here, as I’ve generally had a woman for my manager for most of my professional career (doesn’t bother me, they’ve all been good managers).
It’s socially acceptable to make a joke about men (you know what men are like lol), it’s a visit to HR if you make the same joke about women (you know what women are like lol). This isn’t a false perception, or over exaggerated bit of right wing propaganda, it’s just working life being a man.
I’ll NEVER forget an inaugural lecture where a professor stated she’d always hire women over men for her research team, and people cheered. She’d have been stripped of her title as a man, possibly sacked.
To be quite frank, there are hundreds of little “adjustments” men live with today. I’m sorry to say that the iniquity men face today is real, and while older men can see how it balances past iniquities (or are indifferent) - younger men just see the iniquity levelled against them and rightly question it because their only crime is being a man.
It isn’t just “a few” - it’s the normality we’ve created. It’s a sad situation, because in the pursuit of justice we’ve created injustice and the predators that shape the manosphere have monopolised it for their own selfish ends.
