for the past few decades, women's lives have been getting better in a lot of ways. More education, more employment, more representation in government and media, etc. Now in lots of ways their lives have been getting worse, but that's just because everyone's lives have been getting worse, with stuff like wage stagnation, inflation, cost of living, loss of freedoms, loss of privacy, etc. Now I believe that the main cause of this is the eternal population growth sought by western nations to continually improve "productivity" and gdp. Mass immigration is used in this way to makes the state, the banks, the corporations more wealthy, to prop up the housing markets to prevent a crash, etc., at the cost of wage suppression.
Either way, the difference between men and women in this case is that women still feel like things are getting better in some ways. That's not happening for men, in fact things like education are actually getting worse for men, as proportionally fewer and fewer men get higher education, mostly due to programs and scholarships designed to increase the number of women in higher education (despite the fact that there are of course more women than men, and it has been like that for decades).
The best case scenario is for women (and racial minorities) to realize that their situations aren't going to get better any more. It's clear from an outsider's perspective that this is the case, as equal rights groups focus more and more on fringe, or often completely fabricated issues. If that happens and the average person realizes the truth, we could see positive changes. I'm not too optimistic though, as it seems like people are getting more and more divided, not less. Just remember, nothing good ever happens.
