UK: Why today could be a turning point in the history of men's rights

Article here. Excerpt:

'The world may have been concentrating on the climate change conference in Paris, the EU renegotiation talks and Star Wars; but future historians may record this week as the moment the earth finally moved in social relations between women and men.

Today, for the first time, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission will be called upon to recognise formally that men and boys can be in positions of systemic disadvantage and inequality in British life - such as education and family life and law.

A tiny fissure will thus be driven into the unyielding concrete crust that has covered gender politics for the last half century. For the entire lifetimes of most people in this country, it has been a central, unquestionable article of faith that where inequalities pervade our society by gender, they must inhere exclusively to females.'
