If you want to know where this will end up I will tell you. 
Twenty or so years ago the hot button gender topic was domestic violence. Somebody decided the Calgary police were not making enough arrests (sound familiar already?) so the police were made to institute a new directive: on every domestic violence call someone had to be arrested. BUT it could only be one party arrested, not both. In other words the police had to "believe" one party or the other - no neutrality allowed. I assume most people already leapt ahead to the predictable conclusion: it was virtually always being the man who was arrested.
Suddenly there are huge numbers of arrests being made. The "perp" is always a male. And so the "proof" was made that men were the perpetrators of domestic violence - despite all the readily available evidence at the time that men and women equally committed domestic violence.
I don't know if this policy was ever rescinded or not but this is exactly how I see this going.
