I disagree with the thread title purely based on the fact that women are discriminated against in some areas, and men in other areas so its sort of a level playing field. It just appears that men are discriminated against more because men are psychologically prouder than women and until recent years have always felt they have been above women and in control. Men also like power more than women do. As women become more independent and are gaining equal status and rights to men (even though they have it anyway, I'm talking in terms of tradition, thoughts, reputation etc), men- especially older men- are beginning to think are they becoming less powerful. It just happens to be that things aimed at men in the past are now being aimed at women.
