Now that the pendulum has swung the other way, will there be an effort to prioritize men in universities and the workplace? (That's a rhetorical question. Of course women won't advocate that college be 50% men.)
Women now make up the majority of the U.S. labor force

#22I find this fairly astounding. The typical stay-at-home parent is the mother and while it's getting closer to parity I don't think it's anywhere near even. For that reason alone I would expect more men in the work force. What are men doing if not working? On disability? Homeless? Retiring earlier?
Equal Outcome != Equality of Opportunity.
Unfortunately the two are often conflated in an attempt to imply there is some form of discrimination taking place by people with nefarious motives.

#23The more interesting thing is the distribution of income. I would happily bet that there still is a considerable gap between women on average and men on average and that the total amount taken home by that majority is significantly less than the total amount for the men.
They're on average more interested in people, so they tend to choose to become nurses, teachers, etc., while men are interested in things and become software developers, engineers, etc.
I have no idea why income HAS TO be distributed equally. Unless you want to force women to become software developers..? But why.

#24Are farm workers excluded because it's easier? Wouldn't matter I suppose just curious.

Young men spend about an 2 hours on games per day, and the numbers for young women is much lower. Young women however spend about 2 hours more on their phones per day more than men. Something seems very similar here if we look at the two activities together rather then in isolation.
I would instead ask what gendered benefit men get from gaming, and women from doing social activities on their phones, and I would guess the answer has something to do with inter-gender competition and status.

Depressed, committing suicide or just doing nothing. But apparently nobody cares.
