> On the other hand, there are many support systems from women, from women-only workshops, places, scolarships, sponsorships, to shelters, support groups and treating mental healt issues way differently than with men. Those do not spawn out of thin air. Groups of people built them. In my region, there are many such projects and when you dig into their origin it's often women who struggled 20 years ago who then landed on their feet and decided to create support networks where there was none. Nothing is stopping you or your community from doing the same, except strict social gender roles which can and have been broken before.

  > Men only scholarships would bring protests and calls of sexism There are lots of male-only scholarships, some provided by male-only organizations (e.g., fraternities) to their members. Some are even exclusively for people pursuing male-only jobs.
