But women and men are not the same. They may be similar on average, but the outliers generally sit on one side. That's why convicts and dropouts are mostly men.

But women and men are not the same. They may be similar on average, but the outliers generally sit on one side. That's why convicts and dropouts are mostly men. I have a daughter and two sons and I'm way more worried about my sons than my daughter. The main concern I have about my daughter is transgender erasing male / female boundaries and creating unsafe space for females. I'm sure she'll be fine whether she wants to have a career or focus on her family. My boys, on the other hand, they'll need to ignore a lot of weakening propaganda I didn't have to. Toxic masculinity and other crap touted by the media. The high percentage of women looking for partners earning more than them, couple with wages moving towards being equal (mainly due to women not taking maternity leave as much as in the past) also means it will be hard to date.

They also have some careers actively being closed to them, because institutions may be incentivised to only hire women. An academic career is an unlikely bet at this point, for example. And in case people with only daughters think they will be fine because modern ideology only hurts women, I think they are wrong. As an example, suppose updated laws make marriage unattractive for men (huge downside risks of losing kids and income in a divorce, completely at the whim of the spouse). The in turn it would become more difficult for women who would prefer a traditional family arrangement to find men willing to take up the risk. Even if women prefer more "lose" relationships, they might find it more difficult to find suitable mates because of the high risk of false rape allegations. And so on. Traditionally male jobs being passed on to women might seem like a plus, but has the same issue. Maybe many women would be more happy with classic arrangements. Also there is the issue of being considered just a "token representative" and one's work being devalued.
