I want to address the young men comment, and how they're struggling.

I am not a young man, but I can empathize.

I understand that young men need to find their place in a world where women no longer depend on them, after having been socialized to think they're inherently needed. They need to re-evaluate their sense of self-worth. Ok.

Therapy.

Yes, society has changed, but this isn't a problem society can solve, nor is it a legal one. This is a parental problem. A schooling problem. A mental problem. There's no law that can be passed to force men into therapy. How do we solve this issue? What are young women to do while young men figure themselves out?

Young women can be raped and be denied abortion because that is a law (mostly) men have passed not too long ago. That is a very problem with a very implementable legal solution.

It seems to me that no matter how we roll the dice, women always end up getting the short stick. Even when we win, we lose.
