Pulse of Chennai anonymous opinion poll

Do men today have the same authority as previous generation

In plain English: Do men today have the same authority as the previous generation?

Choose between 👎 No, they don't and 🔥 More superior.

A debate arose about equality: one person says earlier men had more authority because women weren’t encouraged to work and men controlled money. Another argues that while women are now encouraged equally, some sectors may have replaced male roles with female hiring—reducing men’s opportunities. Do men today really have the same authority as previous generation, are they given less options to win?
