Governments can also withdraw funding from organizations that have minimal or no representation of men, or exclude men because they are male.
Governments can withdraw funding from teachers training colleges that have less than say 40% male trainee teachers (and on average teachers training colleges have about 20% male trainee teachers).
Governments can withdraw funding from universities that do not equally advertise their courses for male and female students.
Governments can withdraw all funding from universities that do not have equal numbers of men and women on their equity committees.
No political party should receive any taxpayer funding if they do not have a policy for men as well as women.
Government spending on men and women should also be equal, and a major investigation be held into the obvious gender biases in both the family law courts and the normal legal courts.
Governments can also introduce gender vilification legislation to remove feminists from society that denigrate the male gender (as a big stick).
The list can continue.
