38. you said men are angry, it is also your claim

inequality is only about money, and ignores individual circumstances that may be a legitimate source of anger. For instance, not all men are on the gravy train, but may get treated as though they are. Or men who are quite equitable being treated as though they are not.
Your OP is all straw.
