The main source of this gender debacle is due to society confusing “sameness” with “fairness”. Men and women cannot be treated exactly the same in every respect, because apart from general biological protocols, we’re fundamentally designed differently and our motivations aren’t identical.
The hard truth is that society, in its effort for political correctness has made grand attempts to disprove these inherent differences in order to achieve what they believe to be equality, which is just as asinine as subjugating one gender over another.
There’s a reason why most women stray away from violent sports like football, and it doesn’t have to do with a “patriarchy” trying to impose their manly will. Most women just aren’t interested in brutish sports, unless it’s as a spectator. (Ironically, even women don’t enjoy watching the WNBA either.)
Also why a disproportionate amount of strip clubs are catered towards who men gullibly willingly dole out their cash to women who are enticing them sexually; and interestingly enough were creating pornography on cave walls and fertility goddesses with bulbous breasts and buttocks. Men have more testosterone, which drives our desire to mate to the point where we’ve created sanctuaries for sexual recourse.
Or why women tend to prefer social occupations like retail and nursing, or why men overwhelming represent the engineering field even though many engineer scholarships programs are practically begging women to join… or why women tend to get sexually aroused when exposed to male sweat after they engage in strenuous activity, or why men tend to simmer down because of pheromones released by a crying woman’s tears, yada yada yada…
Humans didn’t create cultures that gave men or women their respective natures, but rather our basic tendencies steadily diverged into expected roles- which cultures embellished upon and made them practically codes of conduct.
So what’s the other real issue? A lack of respect. Belittling another gender’s preferences, limitations and capabilities, or forcibly assigning men or women to roles that they wish to not follow in a “free” society. In the same vein, the physical or mental consequences of crossing certain barriers shouldn’t be glossed over, especially in institutions that have to uphold logical standards for objective success (i.e., the military, construction, boxing etc.)
The courts are sympathetic to (primarily white) females because subconsciously men (and empathetic women) have a natural bias towards women, even though the laws seem ironclad. Women’s rights groups will never approach these disparate factors, because they’re either emotionally ignorant to the plight of men, or hypocritically view the inequality as rightful penance for male oppression. If men and women in our current society are going to reach any true understanding, we can’t be ignorant of what makes us tick, or trade one power dynamic for another.
In a nutshell:
