Kind of hard to reconcile 95% of the population believing that 'men and women should be social, political and economic equals', with 72% of women and 61% of men being in favor of 'affirmative action programs for women.' Affirmative action programs for women (which is to say legalized discrimination against men, based strictly on their gender) are surely one of the leading causes of men and women being not treated equally economically.
Caplan addressed this part of it well in his post on the Titanic -- 'women and children first' occupies a different stratum of the mind than "men and women are political and economic equals" does. If we put them together they are absurd, like "equal rights, equal lefts" showcases.
"Akshully this well known saying that demonstrates well-validated principles of how human societies rightfully recognize that eggs are scarce and sperm is free isn't literally true therefore your point is invalid, checkmate atheists."
Take a look at a sex-ratio map. None of the countries where female infanticide is practiced produces men who let women become feminists. No red herrings please. The point was about the kind of society Caplan was talking about re: the Titanic, not the kind of society that is still practicing infanticide of any kind.

No thanks, bud.
Throughout history, women have been treated as the disposable sex. This can be seen especially through the high rates of female infanticide.
Yes, they kept the boys alive to be soldiers.
