The constantly reinforced narrative that women in Western nations are oppressed and discriminated against has been definitively debunked by scientific research.
Research carried out by academics from University of Missouri in the US and the University of Essex in the UK and published by one of the world’s leading scientific journals shows that in most countries, particularly Western countries, men face more discrimination than women.
The new research published in PLOS ONE used a method called “Basic Index of Gender Inequality (BIGI)” to study gender disadvantage in 134 countries and found that in 91 men face greater disadvantageous due to their sex than women.
This includes practically every Western nation, while the 43 countries where women faced greater discrimination were predominantly Muslim majority states.
In the Western counties men make up the vast majority of work place deaths and injuries, suicides, prisoners, homeless and are a minority of University graduates.
Professor Gijsbert Stoet, who oversaw the research states
“No existing measure of gender inequality fully captures the hardships that are disproportionately experienced by men in many countries and so they do not fully capture the extent to which any specific country is promoting the well-being of all its citizens,”.
In an ironic twist the study proved that in the US, Russia and most European nations men are most disadvantaged to women. The same countries with the most vocal feminist groups who continue to attack masculinity and enjoy widespread academic, political, media and corporate support.
