I don't have a lot of time to comment right now, snowy, but I like where you're going.

I will respond to this, though. I think the issue is that the money is going towards the hardest hit areas, which, as Zincenko points out, affected men disproportionately. They're trying to fix the bad areas. I'm guessing there isn't as much of a need to fix those areas that are weathering things better. Correct me if I'm wrong.
