Well, most of us, I think, agree that symmetry with respect to female
and male compensation is a good symmetry. So, there's one example.
There are plenty more. But I can't help thinking you're asking for
examples for a nefarious reason ... perhaps to build a straw man. 8^)
One social manifold would be the hyper liberal tech scene here in
Portland. To look at the male/female symmetry in the context of that
manifold, we can examine our "feminist hacker space":
http://fluxlab.io/. Many of the brogrammers we have here have objected
quite strongly to its very existence. They yelp "reverse prejudice" and
heap all sorts of criticism on it. Luckily, our social manifold shuts
those idiots down rather quickly. Change the manifold, perhaps by
moving down to Santa Clara or even Palo Alto, and I suspect such
symmetry-maintaining pressures will lessen.
