The Myth of Pervasive Misogyny
Many feminists and progressives argue that the West is plagued by pervasive misogyny. In fact, this claim is made with such frequency, and is so rarely challenged, that it has become part of the Left’s catechism of victimhood, repeated by rote without a second thought. The only real question is how powerful and pernicious the misogyny is. [...] The best data from contemporary social science tell a rather different story and suggest that the very persistence of the pervasive misogyny narrative is itself a manifestation of the opposite: society is largely biased in favor of women.

запускать в шлюпкизащищать мужчин. т.е. - забота об их здоровьи.и спрашиваю: почему бы не распространить это благородство на всех поровну, без оглядки на пол.
исходя из того, что без танцев с (чем-бы-то-ни-было) в нынешней ситуации лучше обойтись.
но, может, вы имели в виду что-то другое?
