While there are certainly areas, where boys and young men are now in a disadvantage (college degrees, high school grades) - something that we should try to mitigate - in other social contexts, women are still heavily discriminated against.

Asserting that one group has it “harder” than the other, speaks to poor methodology and understanding of the situation.

Tell me even one metric women are doing worse than men or boys regarding life?

- Most suicides, men - Most homeless, men - Most with out partners, men - Most with out child (even though they would wanted one), men - Most dying at work, men - Most getting divorced, men - Most with out college or other degrees, men - Most died by violence, men

and so on...

Women experience more sexual violence than men. Women experience more instances of genital mutilation, are more often sex trafficked and enslaved, and experience more instances of domestic abuse.

Most getting divorced as "men" makes no sense unless you mean that homosexual men couples more frequently get divorced than homosexual women couples, considering a heterosexual divorce results in +1 count of divorces-per-gender equally.

But the point is that a lot of the things that men suffer under is exactly the same thing under attack by feminists. Feminists aren't your enemy and "all the men on earth" isn't the enemy of feminists or people resisting patriarchy.

Do you believe the assigned-male-at-birth person who chooses to resist gender hierarchy by dressing in drag and protesting at the capital is your enemy?

> Women experience more sexual violence than men. Women experience more instances of genital mutilation, are more often sex trafficked and enslaved, and experience more instances of domestic abuse.

I believe the parent meant Western societies.

In any case, even though I agree with the spirit of your comment (in theory, feminists should fight with the very same root causes that make both men and women suffer), in practice their focus is very much shifted towards women. And when we get to the point where systemic oppression/privilege is considered (military service, being able to save one's life during a war), most of them suddenly become quiet.

- most Firearms possessed

- most paid sports employment

- most elected office positions

- most leadership position in private companies

- most physical strength records

- most Chess grandmasters

- most Nobel prizes

Yes you are pointing the top 1% of the most skilled people in the world and you do know most men don't own firearms unless you are talking about US which seems to be the "whole world" for you people.
is the distribution at other groups beyond the 1% different ?

Does the Physical strength ratio flip at some point ?

Firearms: all the worlds militaries, police departments, paramilitaries, criminal gangs, habitual hunters, etc that at some point in the day possess a firearm

so why don't men start cuddeling groups then?
