That ‘male bashing’ is tolerated by society is a reflection of institutional prejudice, now quite a common fact. If you doubt this, have a look at the data on, say, the sexual differentiation in college matriculation rates, or that of Ritalin prescription rates in grade school. These statistics arise from a prejudicial environment in society, which is most obvious in the public school system. Of course, you could argue that, on the average, men are just a lot dumber than women. But that would fail to explain why, historically, most scientific progress is due to men, wouldn’t it.
