Most times that it seems particularly skewed in favor of women I chalk that up to a captain save-a-hoe mentality. Mostly guys writing the laws, but they pander to demographics and some things become sacred cows, especially come election time.
So, taking all into account, you think that women have the upper hand in western society?
One more thing though - it is not only about tweaking the laws to give this or that group more rights. It's about reducing the pressure to conform to certain harmful gender stereotypes which affect both men and women negatively.
