First, discrimination is discrimination. No "reverse" about it. Second, you are quite incorrect in just about everything else I have quoted. Men are more often assaulted, murdered, and raped (yes raped) than women in the United States. Women now make up a majority of not only undergrads, but also law and medicine. I have not seen stats on b-school, but suspect men still dominate MBAs.
Are we sure that prison is not skewing these statistics? I am mostly serious about this. I am also fairly certain that men still make more on average than women of the same occupations, and that (and this goes with your MBA suspicion) men still dominate corporate America at the executive level. These seem to me to be more important barometers than the gender balance of current law or med students. I am not particularly a fan of feminism (nor am I a fan of the over-promotion of some traditionally male values) but I would have a hard time concluding that women have a truly equal playing field in the majority of job-related issues.
