* Females tend to outlive males by about 5 years (with more of society's funding sponsoring female health, such as breast cancer at the expense of prostate cancer) * Despite the fact that females are perhaps the most privileged people on earth, many dictionaries fail to acknowledge "masculism" (this in and of itself may be telling)

Whoever wrote this either has no idea what masculism is or is a misandrist..
Masculism, just like feminism wants to achieve equality of genders.
Masculists want to point out, that men are discriminated too and advocate for the rights and needs of men.
