So andromeda initiative is all about girlpower?

...and I can't blame him. Being a father myself, and seeing how men have been portrayed over the past decades, these thoughts are so utterly ingrained in all of us, we don't even question them anymore.

On the topic of "men have such a hard life compared to women", I can only say two things:
1) Women still have no clue about men, just as the other way around... no amount of gender studies will change that.
2) So, 1 in 3 women will experience violence in her life, well, using the same metrics, it would be 1 in 1 men... I think that's still a quite privileged position, right?

Actually, I'm pretty convinced western society would seize to exist if people actually realized how men work compared to women... that we can be/are just as valuable and vulnerable as women... society - humanity - needs men to be "those that can take it"... and all we ever needed in return was acknowledgement/respect. I'll leave it to imagination what would happen if that dynamic no longer worked...

@lady Artifice: Ops, sorry, I misunderstood your position, my bad.

Yea, according to whom? Actually, according to the US ministry of justice, we are somewhere around 60-40... but that's the thing, if you have feminist academia and feminist organizations running the numbers.

As I said, read more... much more.

All the top positions aren't held by women.  We've got Alec as pathfinder, and the salarian politician guy.

Even if we ignore Alec, we've got as far as I can see 4 women in genuinely "top" positions (Garson, Addison, Nakmor and Kelley).  The odds of 4 people sharing the same gender by chance is 1 in 8, assuming a population is 50/50, which is not all weird or extreme.  1 in 8 coincidences happen all the time.
