Recently I was talking to a friend about equality in the workplace. He said that men are now discriminated against in recruitment and often miss out on promotions to women. Without any solid evidence, he claimed that he had missed out on at least three promotions in the last five years because he is a man.

I disagreed with him. I shared with him tons of scientific evidence that women are discriminated against. I also shared evidence that men and women are better off when we achieve gender equality. He disputed this evidence and stuck to his unverifiable assumptions.

Finally, I shared with him the metaphor of the bird's two wings. Although he agreed with me, he was still not convinced.

I am interested in your opinion.
