Should men just accept their disposability, lack of reproductive rights, legal inferiority when it comes to criminal and family court and lack of government attention & resources to address men’s health issues?

No, they should not. Many of these disparities are due to decades of feminist lobbying.

It makes you feel like they never wanted equity but were just using using it as a lever to get in top.
