127. A hypothetical situation can be declared absolutely true?
I find that unlikely.

And the basic assumption is that men always arrange everything to be safe, easy, convenient and cheap for themselves. Obviously that is not the case. Otherwise women would be sent off to die in foreign lands, perform our most dangerous jobs, be discouraged from seeking medical care for most ailments (woman up dammit!), have a much lower life expectancy and have the courts generally favor them (divorce, false accusations, lower sentences).

Also women who fail to provide all the financial support for their family, or who choose to stay home with the kids would be openly ridiculed. Rape jokes about men would be verboten, but perfectly acceptable against women, high dropout rates for women would be acceptable, for men it would be a call to national action and scholarships. And even if women represented the majority of homeless in this country we'd only really care about the homeless or unemployed men.
