Boys used to do better at math & science in schools.
"Woa... let's help the girls!!!!!"
Women aren't able to pass firefighting tests.
"Woa... let's help the women!!!!!"
Women aren't entering the sciences in the same numbers as men.
"Woa... let's help the women again!!!!!"
Men are now outnumbered on our college campuses.
Yay! Hooray for women!!!!!
When women come out on top, everything is perfectly OK with people & women get a pat on the back. When men come out on top, there is a cry of "discrimination" & new laws are passed to "fix" it.
I've read articles on the college numbers of men & women & every time it is explained away. Men are often blamed for this. Women are often congratulated for this.
I can't help wonder what would happen if there were fewer women on college campuses. I wonder how long it would be before a new law & dozens of programs helping women hit the scene.
Just a little perspective.

I agree. When something in society favours men the legal rules are changed to benefit women. On an equal playing field in most cases men come out on top. Change the rules to favour females and they will come out on top. It is just a matter of discrimination against men.

They are trying to even the numbers is all. In my grandmothers generation women were not allowed in many school because it was for boys. Now they are finding out how to even the odds. It should do the same thing with things like home economics parental classes for the boys in school so it's even all around. No point in evening one side just so the other side will fall short.

Women need the extra help more than we do. They're... uh... '"special."
That, or they just complain louder. Like when a little kid wants ice cream, and even after they get the ice cream, they say it's the wrong flavor. Then you get the right flavor, and they change their mind again. So you go back to the original flavor. Then they say they would rather have cake.

feminism has fought tooth 'n' nail for the right to be sexist unto men. That is now enshrined in law.

Not perspective, whining- lol. What in the world is all of that garbage. I don't know what era you grew up in, but the facts are that women have always had a much higher aptitude through high school, the current college situation is nothing but reflection of that fact carrying through to upper education.
Who exactly do you blame for fewer men going to college, than men? Did our imaginary friends stop us? What red-blooded man could possibly not like more women around him, anyway, ROFLOL?
Who "helped" the girls do better in math and science? In my 50 years, they have been the scholastic leaders, man u must really date back to the 1800's, glad u're still here w/ us. And what clear insight, too.
Man, no wonder I do so well with the fairer sex, I didn't understand how inferior the competition is, thanks, I'm lovin it.
Seriously, is this off a 70's sit-com? I've actually never heard guys whining like this in real life.
I love u smart, wonderful, insiteful, strong women. I live to have intellient conversations and you ladies are the place I've always had to go to get them. I love being able to discuss everything from science to literature and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE ON TOP!!!
I apologize for the wimps.

You know, we hear all the time that women are 'complainers' and men are 'doers'. Seems as though women got much accomplished over the last century, and it wouldn't have happened by simply complaining. So now that men seem to have some disadvantage, amazingly, all I hear is their complaints, and I don't see alot of 'doing'. Whats up with that?

Because there's an entire industry established on the profitability of preserving the public perception of the victimhood status of women.

I dunno. The history of oppression and lack of women rights.. might be a good start.
People fail their is a lot of history that goes into forming our modern day culture.
