Men being victims of sexism

The ones who did the most harm to men are other men.

Thank you OP for not being one sided. The people on this website drive me freaking crazy with that.

"It pisses the living shit out of me that my fate can be determined by something as seemingly minor as my genitalia."

That's the truth of the civilization we live in, regardless of sex/gender. And it's unfortunate that its our own construction, although the ones who set it up that way were mostly men. We pay way too much attention to the private parts someone has. I like to think it's starting to change but I don't know if humanity is intelligent enough to break the fixation or if it's actually going in a better direction..

Ah well men can get the short stick in some areas women in others...it exists for both genders and can be unfortunate. I think slowly times are changing...its just slow...and some things might never go away.
fun fact women can't be out in a field for more then 3 days due to hygiene complications that can arise from infections of female genitalia.

Also I think good looking men can easily flirt their way into and out of things if it is a female they are dealing with.

If it makes you feel better I veiw anyone male or female that sleeps around a lot to be more of a slut. ;)

I think it depends largely where you live.

In the Middle East, women are sold and traded as possessions.

I live in Melbourne, Australia and I am a lesbian. Often we are treated as a novelty and our sexuality is seen by many males as a choice we made. Some actually get personally offended and insist we are doing it to spite them and should just "get some dick" etc etc. Gay males do not get treated in such a way here.

You are right about the wellbeing of women being more highly regarded, however this appears to be location based. Women have been viewed as weaker, the finer sex as they say. This would entail a level of protection and safety must be afforded. Slowly, I believe this is changing, but it will take time.

Personally.. I can look after myself. But I know many women cannot. Some guy tried to rape me, I nearly killed him.

Alas, let me ask you OP.. given women are often physically weaker and not able to protect themselves against men, should women be afforded a little extra consideration when it comes to our physical wellbeing?

I have martial arts and security training, I am also fitter than most, so I am equipped to defend myself adequately.

All in all, men and women come out about even. Except for third world countries where they still sell their daughters like goats, or throw baby girls in the river.
Ive actually seen more hate on men from women who hate men... But that's just me.

It's true. The biggest thing that I have noticed that seeks to demonise the male gender is the media. In my country, men are often portrayed as being idiots. They are man children. The woman is a know it all. The wife is boss, and the husband is her man child. They're even pushing this sexist nonsense onto children. It is so rare to ever see a boy win something when he is going against a female. While commercials have been getting better with the treatment of men, things like tv shows haven't. It's ridiculous and sad.

Shit happened to me last week in class. The teacher was bitching about how all men are rapists and whatever and she pointed at my shirt (which had two girls half naked lined up like cattle at slaughter, at a porn casting call) and started saying that things like this just reinforce "rape culture". She had singled me out infront of the entire class and objectified me and my clothing because of my sex. I went to the admin immediately after class and the asshole just shrugged it off and laughed. If I wre a female that had been discriminated against because of her sex, that guy would have been asking me if I wanted her fired to save the school from a possible lawsuit. Men are NOT treated equally when it comes to shit like that. It's like u can only be sexually harassed if ur a female, because a man should be able to handle it? What a crock of sexist bullshit.

Yes, I agree. Feminists who are supposedly fighting for the rights of everyone rarely seem to care for the other sex. Be Egalitarian, equal treatment for everyone socially, economically, and politically.

another example- If a woman is domestically abused, she is a victim. If a man gets domestically abused, he is a pussy. They're both victims.

I disagree. There are reasons in everything.

Men are capable of more serious crimes, and as such harsher treatment and punishment are 'expected'.

Male homosexuals and female homosexuals are not the same. You must understand male and female are not quite the opposite but they're two different genders.

Men are natural fighters, whereas women are natural carers.

Men do not want to look pretty and be 'social butterflies'. It's easier for us to be loyal and simple.

I can answer any of your doubts and questions.

I'd like to point out on the whole "voting" thing. Men had to go to war (the draft) in order to vote. They had to fight, kill, and die and then got that right, so many of which did not have the luxury of experiencing that right. Women on the otherhand protested and got that right. So even when the issue of the right to vote comes up, women got that right far easier than men did.

But I agree, I think sexism against men is probably the leading issue of sexism today even when nobody seems to give a damn. Take for example the selective services. The maximum penalty for failing to register with Selective Service is a $250,000 fine and up to five years in prison. Failure to register will cause ineligibility for a number of federal and state benefits. This is only for men. You hear all these feminists claiming that there bodies are being controlled by society and yet you are given less rights as a man if you do not literally sign your body away to government as if you're on call for war.

Like you said, women get a slap on the wrist when it comes to being punished for a crime (60% difference in male and femalesentencing).

Then there's the whole part on howmaledomestic violence victims are not recognized even though they make half the victims. Some studies even suggest women are the majority of abusers, and yet not even half of the shelters for victims are for men. Even the media refused to portray men as victims in this case unless it's some "Men get abused, too" two second clip at the end which is basically ignoring the amoung of men abused as if they are a small minority of the victims.

The list goes on and on. So many cases of sexism against men that I personally believe outweigh the sexism women face, both socially and legally, and the fact nobody seems to give a damn just shows the lack of care people have for the male gender as if they are just disposable objects used to benefit society.

I mean, take this for example: http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/21/isis-massacred-every-man-and-boy-over-15-in-muslim-town/
700 men and boys over the age of fifteen were murdered in three days by ISIS...Where is the outrage? Where are the signs about the male victims? Where is Michelle with that ridiculous semi-duck face holding a picture up on that issue like she did with the girls that were victims of vicious people? WHY does nobody give a crap? Nobody seems to give a crap and nobody seems to give a crap that nobody gives a crap. And these incidents of boys and men being murdered in these places are just as frequent, if not more, as groups of women being kidnapped or murdered.

Another fine example in the whole rape thing. The legal definition of rape was (might still be but I heard they changed it) was that a rape victim was someone who was forcefully penetrated, therefor leaving out victims who were forced in to rape by envelopment (how a woman would rape a man typically). This skewed rape statistics by how they excluded male victims.

Or how about how it is legal to mutilate the genitals of a baby boy at birth yet cruel when done to a girl just born? Both are terrible yet only one of them is legal.

Or let's take how Indian women made it so that a law saying it would be illegal to rape men made it so the law could not be passed...Yet they are always seen as the poor women oppressed when they want male rape legal...Yeah, after I heard that those cunts are on their own.

This is why I get so pissed off with feminists. These intellectually anorexic douchebags are the people claiming to be about gender equality AND YET they are STILL not doing anything about the whole making men sign their bodies to government or else they get less rights? Whenever I hear a fucking "Men can be feminists too" or "Men should be feminists because" videos, then have them cite the definition of the word at the start of the video then go through all the lists of why men should be feminists yet somehow at the same time exclude ANY issue of sexism men face as if saying "You should support us because we don't give a damn about you but you should help us :D" is something any self-respecting man would do?

I'm going on and on. But yeah. There it is.

and I know respect is earned, but being the stronger gender SHOULD NOT entitle society to regarding you as a 2nd-class citizen! There are vile men, but there are also great ones. There are nice women, but there are also bitches. It's not fucking rocket science

women are NO more perfect than men, yet people can't seem to get this through their heads

its a two way street, some woman I know treat their husbands terrible and vice versa. Oh and those dumb farticles by woman who think they are feminists that complain about every little thing their dude does and wonder why they end up single those just make me laugh.

Feminists and other extremists are just nobrainers that is all.
