It is often difficult to talk about disadvantages men have in society because we are so used to dealing with women being disadvantaged. The reality is that both are disadvantaged in different areas. And the trend has clearly been that men are becoming more disadvantaged as Richard Reeves explains in a book and video.
One clear example of this is that when title IX was passed in 1972 there was a 13% college education gap in favor of men. Now it is 15% in favor of women.
Other areas we see men disadvantaged is in are the draft and military deaths, workplace injuries and deaths and, as this site often talks about, alimony. 98+% of alimony payers are men. Often even in cases where custody is joint or the father has custody.
