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?

SUMMARY OF FACTORY ACTS IN THE 19TH CENTURY UK

 The earliest legislation on working conditions applied only to the cotton industry. The first Act to cover workers in other industries was the Mines Act of 1842. Gradually legislation was extended to other industries and smaller establishments.

1802: The Health and Morals of Apprentices Act. This applied to orphan apprentices in the textile industry. No children under the age of 9 were to be apprenticed and the working day limited to 12 hours with no night work. There was no system for enforcement.

1819: The Cotton Mills Act. This applied only to the cotton mills and restricted the working week for those aged 9 to 16 to 72 hours. No children under the age of 9 were to be apprenticed. No system of enforcement was devised.

1831: Cotton Mill Act. This act applied only to cotton mills and restricted the working hours for those under 18 to 12 hours a day. Night working was forbidden for those under 21. Once again there was no enforcement system.

1833: Factory Act. No children under 9 were to be employed except in silk mills. Those aged 9 to 13 were restricted to 9 hours a day and 48 hours a week with two hours school a day. Children and young persons were not to work outside the period 5.30 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. For the first time, factory inspectors were appointed.

1842: Mines Act. This stopped children under 9 and women from working underground.

1844: Factory Act (Mills). This act applied only to the textile industry and limited the work of children aged 8 to 13 to 6.5 hours a day, which was considered to be "half-time".

1845: Calico Print Works Act. This related to factories printing designs on cotton fabrics. Children under 8 were not to be employed. Those under 13 and women were not to work between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Children under 13 should attend school for 30 day per half year.

1847: Factory Act. Women and young persons in textile factories were limited to 10 hours a day or 10.5 if Saturday was a half holiday. This is sometimes known as the Ten Hour Act.

1853: Factory Act. This act related to mills and required that the work of children aged 9 to 13 be between the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in summer and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in winter. Similarly the work of women and young persons was restricted to the hours between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.

1860: Bleach and Dye Works Act. This brought factories engaged in bleaching and dyeing cloth under the same rules as textile mills. It did not apply to open air bleach crofts but an act of 1862 prevented night work at such establishments.

1864: Factory Act. Applied to pottery industry, match making, paper industry and fustian cutting.

1867: Factory Act. This brought any workplace employing more than 50 persons in manufacture under the factory acts.

Children, young people and women were not to be employed after 2 p.m. on Saturdays in establishments with more than five employees and child employees were to attend school 10 hours a week.

1874: Factory Act. This forbade employment of children in mills under the age of 9. In 1875 the age limit was raised to 10. Children aged 8 could still be employed in workshops and non-textile factories.

1876: Education Act. This act made school attendance compulsory for those up to the age of 10. Once over 10 a child could leave on attaining the school leaving certificate, also known as a Labour Certificate. Forster's Education Act of 1870 had not made school attendance either compulsory or free.

1878: Factory and Workshop Act. This act covered all mechanically powered textile and non-textile mills. Workshops were treated as non-textile factories. Domestic workshops were treated as for non-textile factories in relation to the conditions for children and women workers.
