Do you think issues facing boys and men are put on the back burner?

I'm not advocating an Oppression Olympics between women and men and "who has it worse". I'm just saying that men's issues, from my experience, do not seem to be given the attention they are due. By "issues" I'm referring to the over-diagnosis of ADHD in young boys, the fact that boys perform worse than girls in school, absent fathers, divorce proceedings favoring women, suicide rate among men higher than that of women, etc.

Women's issues have received a lot of attention and that's fair, but I think it's important to recognize the unique societal problems that men and boys face.

I think in the modern society with heavy expectations of what men should be, real issues are getting overlooked while groups fight over inane things.
A lot of times boys and men feel too dejected to speak up.
