International Men’s Day: Let’s laud guys

FOR decades we have been conditioned to believe that it is a man’s world. 

It isn’t difficult to see why: Most political and corporate leaders are men and most of the big, global decision-makers are men and the major sporting events are invariably all male.

But anyone — male or female — who believes that men enjoy a life of privilege over women should think again. In many ways, men get a raw deal. It is men who, invariably, put themselves in harm’s way as soldiers, firefighters, and police.
