    People who honestly think this don’t know history.

    Throughout history, society has, when having an excess of young men gone to war to control their numbers. Yes there have been other reasons but having an excess of young, low education men is extremely destabilizing.

    Having a matriarchal society doesn’t necessarily mean that the male part of the population is suppressed or oppressed, but the few people that I have met that honestly think that replacing the current patriarchal system with a similar matriarchal society, also what men to “pay” for the historical treatment of women.

    Having a large group of men that are low education, is such a bad idea, they are easily radicalized to do terrible things. Men will continue to be physically stronger than women, this fact along with radicalization would lead to massive societal problems.

    What we need is too move further towards equality and equity, unfortunately boys are not doing well in schools girls are out performing them all over the board.

    As an aside, years ago (on reddit) in a movie discussion someone asked why we don’t see any “crazy ex-boyfriend” movies? When we see movies poking fun at “crazy” ex-girlfriends.
    One insightful commenter replied: it is because ex-girlfriends are generally not a physical threat; there isn’t really anything a girl can do to a boy, whereas “crazy” ex-boyfriends are a massive physical threat and therefore not funny, in the real world many murders are motivated by emotional issues and these are overwhelmingly committed by males against females.
