The reason you won't find many articles is because the male perspective has been marginalized from gender studies. The generic argument being "the male perspective dominates all other domains so there is no need for a mens studies". >t

Yes but how much of this problem is a spatial limit and how much is a product of other physical limitations? You might be able to reduce critical paths using memristors and 3d circuits but I imagine there are other fundamental issues.

What's unique to this situation is the social construct of the "stronger" and "weaker" sex. A claim of victim hood coming from a female aligns with bias we already hold about women. Women are socialized to emotionally connect with others

A)My use of the word privilege was sarcastic. B)The Equal Rights Amendment which would have required drafting for both sexes was defeated by a woman organization(STOP ERA).

Males have the "privilege" of being the "stronger" sex. If you're not collected and emotionally unreactive you are abnormal/weak. Any emotional expression that deviates from a narrow acceptable range is abnormal. You do not need the same
