>Since when do women have more job opportunities than men?

It's not about raw absolute numbers but DEI policies in companies and some gov jobs, have made plenty of good white collar jobs restricted to only women or giving priority to female candidates at the expense of competence, which is legally speaking just gender discriminations with a PR spin on top. You are not allowed by law to discriminate job candidates by immutable characteristics like gender.

>Because men are -- as a group-- far more dangerous than females

Treating men, and individuals generally, as a group based on statistics is just discrimination legally speaking. Imagine saying that society should fear black people because they are more dangerous because statistically speaking they're more likely commit more crimes than whites. That's the same kind of discrimination. Are you ok with this?

>Until the rich no longer exploit the weak

What does this have to do with the life of average men? 99,99% of men individually, are not rich and powerful enough to cause oppressions at societal level. Lots of global oppression is happening due to capitalist corporate greed which are a collective hive mind, at which many women are also at the helm on boards and help enable this oppression. It has nothing to do with gender.

>AND male culture becomes more pro-social and willing to accept help

Please share what help are men getting and refusing. You're creating this narrative around "male culture this" and "male culture that" not backed by any facts.

Let’s take this to an extreme. Is there any point at which such discrimination becomes acceptable?

Hypothetically, if it was known that 99 out of every 100 people who have a specific tattoo are predatory, violent muggers, should people not fear and be particularly cautious around that entire group?

Assuming, solely for the sake of argument, that instead of a tattoo the indicator is a particular race, but the numbers are the same, does that change anything?

>You also haven't answered what help men are receiving but choosing to refuse. I realize I'm wasting my time since you're not arguing in good faith so I'll end the discussion here.

I am not the person you were talking to before. I don’t have to answer questions you didn’t ask me…
