Well the, ahem, meme [1] has been around for at least that long. I first 
heard similar sentiments with the release of reports that boys were doing 
poorly in schools, compared to girls, with some calls for boys-only 
schools. That was, what, about ten years ago?

WRT this specific issue, though, I'd put it at around a year/18 months ago 
that I first started hearing more and more calls for affirmative action for 
men in 'net conversations.

[1] I really hate 'meme theory' which has all the 'analytical subtlety of 
the cudgel in the hands of superbad guy at the end of donkey kong.'

each day."
