I think guys such as myself need to make a point about talking about our differences with the females in our lives as opposed to everybody just ruminating on these things. It bums me out that it's so rare for any of us to find the time.

We already have. We now have a better quality of life than any earlier time in history.

We still have a long ways to go I think, things are better, sure, but that's no guarantee anything is more equitable necessarily.

This article is absolutely fascinating and confirms a view of mine that if not for the establishment of civilization there would be no other outcome than extinction.

My view is that the level of equality in society within multiple different areas(socioeconomic, employment, sex life) is trending back to that level. As in, in the absence of other forces the natural state is for it to transform back into that extreme disparity. The challenge for society is that in the absence of positive forces, equality will rapidly decay back into a state of lawless anarchy. Industrial Revolution level economy, wild west style anarchy, basically law of the jungle, etc.

I think for some personality types like alphas this is fully acceptable and probably is the original context of the word "Justice". They would say that 5% of y chromosomes being passed on is the natural state of the world.

My view? I think if every generation did so, sourced all Y chromosomes from 5% of men from every generation(And what really happens is same men would procreate with multiple generations of women, further reducing the genetic diversity) that eventually the human race would die out due to genetic conditions. What happens after number of generations is that everyone would be essentially like siblings/cousins genetically speaking. Interesting article I read here:
