It is the first time I agree with this author on anything. And this topic is important.
I am a (white) male, over seventy. I have been married for forty-nine years to the most admirable, lovable and precious lady, my dear wife.  I also grew up without my father, whom I lost when I was under three years of age.
In my case, I cannot say that I owe much to the male members of the human race. Apart from a few exceptional men, I have a pretty low opinion of men in general. I find that women have done enormously more to make me into a full-fledged human being, than any male figure.
All my life, women have been wonderful and positive in my life. My Mother, my wife, my wife's Mother, Sister, a sister-in-law and even my little daughter whom I lost when she was only five, this are stellar examples of the humans who made my life worth living.
Yes, after millennia of abuse of women, men can hang their heads in shame and must change their global attitude toward womankind.
