Enjoy (video, 1:26:41). If you’re pushed for time, I suggest you catch at least the section after 1:06:49, when Paul Elam says:
“Let me put you a little bit on the spot here. Did we make a mistake in giving women political power?”

Justice for Men & Boys 
When women got the vote, they became the majority of the electorate. Politicians of every hue fell over themselves to curry favour with them. Initially, those politicians were men. There was, therefore, some modicum of restraint imposed on excesses. Nonetheless, over the past century, men became the frogs heated in a pan of water being brought only slowly to the boil. Initially, we didn’t notice.
However, once there are female politicians, lawmakers & judges, restraint is lost. Pandora has now been handed the key to a box containing political legislative power, and jurisprudence. That women look out for their own interests is a well-established fact (Goodwin & Rudman, Gender Differences in Automatic In-Group Bias, 2004). As is the fact that men usually defer to women (Moxon, The Sexual Divide, 2012).
The usual combination of these dynamics means that just one woman on a decision-making panel can skew the outcome in female favour. With 50/50 M/F representation, male interests are lost, forever.
