Western men die some five years earlier than women. They suffer more from nearly every medical disease and ailment that there is. And yet, far more money is spent by governments on women's health than on men's health. Men are also nowadays educationally disadvantaged significantly compared to women; with the curriculum, the teaching methods and the resources being designed to cater far more for women and girls than for men and boys. Men make up 80% of the homeless. There are more of them in social service care-homes as boys. They are many times more likely to be wrongfully arrested, wrongfully imprisoned, mugged, assaulted or murdered. They are 5 times more likely to lose their children when families break down, 4 times more likely to lose their homes, 4 times more likely to commit suicide, 20 times more likely to be killed or injured at work, 20 times more likely to be imprisoned, and, probably, more than 100 times more likely to be demeaned, denigrated and ridiculed by the mainstream media. Men also pay much more in taxes than women but receive far less in benefits from the government.

In other words, when compared to women, men are significantly disadvantaged when it comes to their health, their lifespans, their homes, their children, their education, their families, the tax burden, the law, the benefit system, and even when it comes to their own personal safety. 

They are nowadays also being heavily discriminated against in the work place.

How is it possible, therefore, that women are being 'oppressed' more than men?

In what areas?

Where?

Affirmative Action for Women

USA MIT vows to counter gender bias - which basically means that men are going to have to work a lot harder than women, and achieve a lot more than them, in order to aspire to the same levels in their jobs.

"Some female professors told the authors of the reports that they were effectively punished - lost shots at tenure or leadership posts - for having children or devoting more time to their personal lives."

It's called 'choice'! 

If women CHOOSE to have children and CHOOSE to spend more of their time on personal matters and less on their jobs, then they should have to take the employment consequences in exactly the same way as would any man.

With regard to this issue it is also worth remembering that a US study not long ago showed that male academics at the top of the career ladder were putting much more effort into their academic research areas than were the women. 

When the statistics of these greater efforts by the males were entered into the equations, it was found that there was no bias against women. The difference in earnings matched the difference in effort - as judged by the number of publications etc.

The women were not reaching the same levels in their careers as were the men because they weren't working as hard at their jobs as the men, nor achieving as much.

Affirmative action in favour of women in the employment sphere simply results in a diminution of the overall competence of the organisation in which this happens. And, the more important is the job, the worse will be the negative effects of affirmative action when filling it.

Further, not only will there be a reduction in the effectiveness of any organisation that employs affirmative action in favour of women instead of choosing the most worthy candidates regardless of gender, there will be also be an ongoing slide in the standards of the candidates who seek such jobs. After all, why would women need to achieve very much when they can get selected on the basis of their gender rather than on their worthiness? And why should men bother when the work that they do may not count for very much?

BOTH genders will be de-motivated.

In addition, affirmative action doesn't help most women. How can women benefit when the society in which they live has organisations and businesses being run by people chosen because of their gender rather than their competence?

Finally, it is becoming evident to the general public that when women do achieve high positions or receive accolades in connection with their jobs, the likelihood that they are not truly deserving of them, but that they have been awarded them simply because of their gender, is increasing. Needless to say, this doesn't help women at all. And, in particular, it tarnishes the achievements of all those women who are worthy of their positions - the true percentage of which must be falling all the time!
