If you need pretty solid proof that women have it easier than men in most regards, it's actually pretty easy to find.
Surprisingly, all you have to do is visit a FtM transition forum. Because FtM pass so well as real men in most cases, they get a pretty authentic experience. It's pretty hilarious and a bit depressing to see the shock that so many of them go through when they realize that life as a dude is exponentially harder — particularly if you're someone who transitioned and essentially became an effeminate "manlet."
Most of them don't know how to cope with it all. They tell stories about how they're isolated, unable to talk to any woman without feeling like a creep, people no longer approach them to talk, feel fearful around kids, how competitive things can be in a full meritocracy, get a very real grasp of how modern women treat men — basically everything that's become pretty standard in 2021. One thing they say they are surprised by is how men seem pretty much the same as when they were women. They don't treat them differently and still have a camaraderie with them. Many thought that they would have acted significantly different when women weren't around, or that all they would talk about would be women. They came to learn that men are much more caring than they thought and enjoy talking about a broad spectrum of things.

What makes it sad is that much of their decision was likely made because of feminist propaganda; same as much of those preconceived ideas they had about men as well. The silly belief that men get a free ride and that everything just sort of works out for them is something that feminist have used for a long time.
I honestly feel sympathy because in those posts, they weren't telling happy stories. As a man looking in, it's easy to be cynical and take a "told you so" attitude, but most of those types of posts where they're explaining about how they learned these things are borderline suicidal because they feel lost and don't know how to handle what's actually become a very real problem for so many young men as well these days.
The big difference being that for men it's just how it's always been; they don't know a different life. While for these FtM's, they don't know how to handle rejection, or the anxiety of having to measure each move in a social situation. They're not used to being the one expected to do certain things, and when all of these things and more come together, they break down in tears unable to figure out a solution.
Like I said, it's honestly pretty sad.
Unfortunately, there's not really any real solution.
These grievance industries will never go away. There's far too many people making far too much money. As long as people have insecurities that can be preyed upon, they'll continue to move the goalposts and continue to search for ways to fuel their fake fights against bogeymen they create.
There's countless organizations out there now that are part of the "grievance industry." With new ones popping up all the time — like BLM did a few years ago. Unless people stop funding them, this crap more assuredly never ends.

Who gives a shit if women, on average, have it better than men do, on average? Do you expect the outcomes to be exactly the same? If so, how is that not just another form of Marxism??

When the hell did I say any of that?
Did you even bother reading the article and the actual topic at hand?

It's commentary on the very real societal belief that's been promulgated the last 6 or 7 years that men somehow have it easier. That belief is actually having serious detrimental consequences on young men, who for the first time are falling behind in almost every metric. It's not to promote that "men have it harder," but to dismiss the very common belief that they have it easier. Hence, why I empathized with the women I was speaking of, because they're victims of that belief as well.

Stop making up imaginary versions of people in your head just so you can argue on the internet. Go outside if you have nothing better to do.

Only fags care about what "society" thinks. Stand on your own. Think for yourself.

Believe you me, I'd love nothing more than to just ignore the morons and normies that make up "society." Unfortunately, no man is an island, and what "society" decides has very real impacts on me and my daily life.

Not an argument. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Only a child who thinks edgy nihilism is cool would think such a thing.
But it's a cute deflection.

Let women have privileges to own the communists

Not what I said. But please keep arguing with that straw man. It's funny.
