You are going to have to back up men dominate all desirable successful professions… more women doctors are being produced than men for instance

Here's an excerpt from the first hit on Google for "percentage of fortune 500 companies run by women". > During the first quarter of 2021, 41 women will lead Fortune 500 companies. That’s just 8.2 percent, but an improvement from the 33 companies in 2019 and 24 in 2018. Going back 20 years, there were just two companies on the list that were run by women, according to Fortune. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/record-number-women-took-over-fortune-500-companies-2020-n1252491 https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/record-number... There's more women doctors, but that percentage hovers around 35%, which is about the same as the number of women in leadership positions in U.S. federal and state government.

  Women constitute the majority of both medical students and law students in the United States. See https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/press-releases/majority-us-medical-students-are-women-new-data-show https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/press-releases/majority-u... and https://www.jurist.org/commentary/2019/03/pisarcik-women-outnumber-men-in-law-school/ https://www.jurist.org/commentary/2019/03/pisarcik-women-out... Although that won't necessarily translate to a majority of practitioners because women are much more likely to suspend or leave a career for family. There's a similar, albeit trailing, trend for business school. https://www.mba.com/information-and-news/research-and-data/why-women-are-applying https://www.mba.com/information-and-news/research-and-data/w...

  That's purely a US figure. In western Europe, 60% of medical graduate are women (It's almost 66% in my country). Then more women drop out of this carrer path because they can, not because they are forced out. If I take a personal example, when studying at my university (in the top 15 QS global ranking), I had 6 girl friends that studied different fields, from physics to material science. Only one of them is still an engineer today. All by choice are now, yoga teachers, home consultant, mom at home, school teacher, etc. For my male friends maybe one decided to do something completely unrelated. I'm getting more and more suspicious about this world (at least in Europe) is unequal because of men. Women are making choice too.

    One day we'll wake up and realize we've been groomed into an oppressed position by women while being shamed and accused of this very same crime hehehe. That'd be funny in 2000 years to see the woke crowd fight for men's equal right to be trophy husband and yoga teachers too.

      Groomed and oppressed by having greater opportunities and resources. This idea of male victimhood is completely outside of reality.
