Please provide sources for your statement that "3/4 of university opportunities goes to women". I did a quick check at SCB which keep these kinds of statistics for Sweden and I can't find any support for it. I also tried to find support for your statement on parental disputes, but the numbers I could find differs from yours there as well.

There have been many discussions on trying to even the gender-gap for certain professions, for example getting more men to be teachers (or getting more women interested in IT). I do not know how successful they are or if they are worthwhile, but I don't see a clear gender bias.

Sorry, you are correct. It seems my numbers were pretty skewed.

But it is still a majority with 60% women at Swedens universities (Source: http://www.scb.se/sv_/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/u...)

But on YH (Polytechnic schools) and alike there is even a bigger majority on 69%: http://www.metro.se/artikel/s%C3%A5-stor-%C3%A4r-kvinnornas-...

Still with those facts, the swedish government employs an extreme feministic group to suggest stuff that can empower more women in academia: https://www.svt.se/opinion/article2925614.svt

Sure, all the numbers weren't really correct but the trend is still clear. Feminists only cares about women and really want to diminish men in every way possible.
