And as I've explained, some of the issues raised are not gendered. Domestic violence is about a 50/50 rate in Canada - so why focus almost entirely on women? You can claim these issues mainly affect women but firstly we need to identify if they are actually problems (wage gap, STEM field participation, political representation), and if they are, do they affect women at a vastly disproportionate rate, justifying an almost complete focus on that one gender?
Also note that I'm not suggesting we need more men in higher education, despite being overtaken by women in recent years. It's not a problem.
