This! Complaining that men and boys aren't doing as well as they used to and that it's the fault of greater equality is both silly and offensive. Patriarchal zero-sum dynamics need not apply. How about we spend more time looking for win/win solutions that help everyone rather than deciding that someone has to lose (and it's not going to be me...) Also, refusing to take into account all the ways that women (and non-whites) are still very much struggling for basic human rights is tone deaf in the extreme. Yes, by all means, let's help boys and men, but by moving forward, not by scampering back to the past at the expense of everyone else.
