@Edent Watching the more recent political "discussions" (say 10+ years) in the USA (and elsewhere - Britain, the EU, Brazil, etc), the arguments directed towards men are incredibly emotional. Mostly they are based in stoking fear (loss of jobs to women! or immigrants! loss of masculinity(?!) you won't be free! you won't be rich!) Historically I'm sure this was always the case - it just feels even less nuanced or, maybe, less cautious now.
