My current fear is that these people won't stop until they have equal results. Equal opportunity be damned.
These things have a long lag time. Assuming all of these factors were fixed today, we might not see results for 20 years. Which can mean people would still be trying to fudge the factors in women's favor. And guess what? That's exactly what has happened. Women already have greater opportunity. Greater scholarships. Greater college attendance rates. Greater college graduation rates. In 20 years this "pay gap" will be vastly different.
Yet feminists are still calling for more change. They are not happy that they don't have equal results NOW. If they keep pushing then the pendulum is going to swing so far the other way that in 20 years we're going to have some massive upheaval due to the blatant misandry required to keep giving women more opportunity. This is why these people need to be stopped now. Women deserve an education. They deserve opportunity. They're getting it. They don't need more because it is becoming obvious that it is coming at the expense of opportunity for men.
