I'm a mid-30's white male. While I agree that large numbers of males unemployed, failing in education, not going to college etc is bad for society, it's uncomfortable to read a call for more funding for the purpose of helping men succeed.
Women are still paid less than men, and hold fewer positions of power in politics or business. They still far outnumber men as victims of sexual assault. They are still expected to carry the burden of unpaid domestic work and care.
If women as a whole are achieving more than men, despite the disadvantages they still suffer, then good on them. That funding should be going towards educating men so that women can walk down a street at night without a completely reasonable fear of violence.
The tone of the article comes off uncomfortably close to the whole incel thing.
