#3More women than men attend college as well.
Women are not however overrepresented in the top 10 most dangerous jobs or the military or the homeless population.
A lot of talk about the glass ceiling but none about the glass floor.

#5Please replace the editorialized headline with the actual one (Exploring Gender Bias in Six Key Domains of Academic Science: An Adversarial Collaboration)
From the abstract:
> our findings show that tenure-track women are at parity with tenure-track men in three domains (grant funding, journal acceptances, and recommendation letters) and are advantaged over men in a fourth domain (hiring). For teaching ratings and salaries, we found evidence of bias against women; although gender gaps in salary were much smaller than often claimed, they were nevertheless concerning.
i.e. out of six domains, three were neutral, one favored women, and two favored men. Guess which one was cherrypicked for the HN submission?

So easier to hire but lower salary?
Can we call it a draw?

Not only that, but poorly performing students are more likely to be male, whilst excellent students are more likely to be female. This is true across almsot all disaplines.

Most suicides are also men and yet no extra benefits to mental healthcare are provided. On the contrary.
Men have always been a disposable commodity. Useful for labor, paying taxes and dying in wars.
