Jiggly - yes - every time there is a "woman does X" or "first woman to do Y" my first thought is not longer "wow that's great" but "I wonder if / expect it was a man".
Thinking about it from that perspective, there's a point there. It's generally accepted that men are hierarchical, always establishing their position in pecking orders and so on, and gender is an instrumental part of hierarchy. With certain types of men at the top (big, strong, probably violent) and other types at the bottom (gay, gender non conforming, effeminate).
Women's rights have gained ground so much in the last 10 years or so - with women's achievements starting to be recognised in many fields, including historically. Women's sport is shown on TV, talked about more, women's contributions to the space program, war efforts, all sorts of things are coming up. There's a distance to go, but things are improving, women and our accomplishments have more visibility.
At this point there is maybe a nervousness that the "better" women might end up higher in the hierarchy than lower ranking men, and this won't do, will it. As well as being wrong, according to gender rules and roles, it feels that if there are opportunities / rewards there to be taken and they are being taken by women now, then shouldn't they really be going to men first?
So you get what is happening, that things that have started to be given to women, done by women, are now going to men who accordingly to male hierarchy would be low, thus making everything right again.
So you have women's sports, women's scholarships, women's writing / science / etc prizes, women's positions on boards and stuff (if quotas/aims to improve ratios), going to men.
On the other side of the coin, you take men who would be dominated in places like prison, and you put them in with people they can dominate instead, again righting the balance, as it's not right for a man to be treated like that (like a woman).
So we end up with 3 castes -
High ranking men
Low ranking men who get the stuff that women used to get
Women who end up with fuck all, all over again, and reduced means by which to get it, due to no longer being able to self organise or identify themselves as a group in any meaningful way
Huh.
The "first woman to fight on the front line" was a really annoying one, as the person was already serving in whatever regiment it was, and they transed, and voila first woman. Meanwhile the old cunty type of women had no chance whatsoever of being first, as when it was opened up to women they had to do the training first. So there was literally no way that a woman could have got there quicker, so that goes down in history to a man. And when they first cunty type woman gets there - nothing - so what - not the first.
Same with some films recently (I forget which) where it was the first trilogy to be directed by a woman but there was a complaint, and they were changed to the second to do that after the wachowski's, even though they were men in a male dominated industry when they made the matrix.
The desire to take what women have gained and give it to men is very clear.
