'When the all-boys Regis High School in Manhattan devoted a day this spring to discussing challenges facing women today — sexual harassment, discrimination in the military, the gender pay gap, for instance — it was a first for the school, an example of an all-male institution confronting the issues raised by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements.

I don't suppose the girls school will reciprocate to learn of the many ways in which boys and men are disadvantaged and discriminated in a society that only shows concern for female issues.

While the boys' school discusses women's problems, I doubt the girls' school will ever talk about men's problems--because, as we all know, men don't have any problems, and if any claim to, they're simply losers who can't get laid or can't get married.

"Incel" has become the latest way to dismiss and stigmatize men who doubt the dominant feminist narrative.
