"OP do you have any specific examples of where men are not seen as equals? On here "Yes and this is about the only place, and just look at the moaning about it. This place is just about sex. Imagine if men had been lower paid, with fewer opportunities in nearly every area of life, (i.e. in things that matter just a tad more than getting laid), throughout history.  | |||

Really? On what grounds? "Probably to try to encourage under-represented groups and to try to achieve a better balance of people in more senior positions. I'm in two minds about positive discrimination but sometimes action does need to be taken to redress imbalances. When those imbalances have existed over a long period of time, a certain way of thinking can exist in company culture that can make change difficult. Programmes to bring more diversity into senior roles can help shake things up a bit. There are programmesspecifically to encourage woman to study STEM subjects too, for the same reason. | |||

It's a pretty good quote I must say. And very true. A lot of men were raised to believe that they are stronger and better than women, so it stands to reason for them to jump to the conclusion that it's now sexist towards men. I won't deny that sexism towards men does exist. I have seen it. Like real sexism. But sexism towards females is more common and can be more dangerous | |||

I agree, sometimes a bit of positive discrimination is needed to help address the balance"I think that the best person for a job should be the one to get it. However, I also know that often white males tend to think that another white male is the best person for the job so an equally qualified woman, or even a more qualified woman, wouldn't have a chance. It's necessary to bring diversity into more senior roles to break those sorts of patterns. | |||

Men tend to choose better paying, more dangerous and more unsociable hours. The is why over 90% of work place fatalities. Men make up the vast majority of the homeless, graduate university less than women and are far more likely to be the victim of serious assault. Women still have issues though. We need to stop looking at this through the traditional lense imo. | |||

"I think sexism exist . But only toward men ! Everything evolves around women and I think it's really wrong specially when men treat women equally ! Anybody else's thoughts ?

" For those accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression Ooo, I like that. May use it in future I heard it elsewhere, it's not mine. I'm not sure who it is attributed to though. It's a pretty good quote I must say. And very true. A lot of men were raised to believe that they are stronger and better than women, so it stands to reason for them to jump to the conclusion that it's now sexist towards men. I won't deny that sexism towards men does exist. I have seen it. Like real sexism. But sexism towards females is more common and can be more dangerous Yes, men can suffer from gender discrimination too. I particularly feel for fathers separated from their child's mother sometimes. Although it's getting better, slowly, the system is heavily biased towards women. However, men don't experience anything like the discrimination and limitations faced by women in most areas of our lives, on a daily basis." That works both ways, there are lots of mothers whose kids live with their fathers. X | |||

Just because laws exist to prevent something from happening doesn't mean that the injustice magically disappears. How are you defining 'serious assault'? Are you including offences under the most recent Sexual Offences Act, or are you classifying sexual assaults in a seperate category? Men may 'graduate university' less than women, but more men than women go to university in the first place. Does your statistic on 'workplace fatalities' include the armed forces? Until very recently, women were forbidden to participate in front-line or combat roles, meaning that female KIA figures were practically zero. | |||

Surely the goal across the board is to reduce all deaths and serious accidents in the workplace? also yes men do have higher rates of suicide but that's partially down to the male of the species being far less likely to seek help, despite its seriousness its not really a valid point in relation to the thread.. again the education point is a much more complex issue given both males and females start at the same level within whatever status they are in, again not really a valid point in relation to the thread.. if you want to be more inclusive and give a balanced view how about the level's of domestic violence being massively higher against women..? etc.. | |||

I wasn't praising the fact that more men than women go to university; I was simply making that point to show how meaningless it is to say that 'more' women graduate than men. Take a hypothetical Uni which has 1,000 male students and 800 female students. Of these, 850 men and 720 women get degrees. In terms of success rate, the male students have an 85% chance of graduating, while the female students have a 90% of graduating. As such, it could be claimed that 'more' women than men are graduating from that university. However, in terms of actual numbers, the male graduands still outnumber the women by 130. | |||

If a woman in the workplace believes she's not receiving equal pay, it's up to her to do something about there and then. There are clear and easily accessible mechanisms in place to report inequality in the workplace. If she just accepts it and works harder to overcompensate, she's not doing anyone any favours, least of all her gender. | |||

Where?"Thankfully, very few such women on this site. However, there is another site I use, and on which I have received abuse from several 'socially conservative' women in America. Basically, they told me in no uncertain terms that Feminism is 'a load of shit,' and that it was nothing more than a conspiracy by the Liberal-Socialist media in alliance with 'Women's Studies' Departments to subjegate 'real men.' IOW, they are a bunch of steaming Rednecks. | |||

Like I said, I'd swap your opportunities for mine in a heartbeat. I don't need evidence for that. ''Like I said, I'd swap your opportunities for mine in a heartbeat. '' l'd assume anyone, male or female, whould find making a statment like this about any stranger ridiculous You can assume what you like. You have male privilege, whether you accept it or not. You have more opportunities than women in the same circumstances as you, whether you realise it or not. You're poorly educated on the subject and, apparently, you are resistant to hearing the truth. Perhaps you should Google." I did Google. I listened and watched debates. I will trust stats more than I trust your experience | |||

"Men may 'graduate university' less than women, but more men than women go to university in the first place. And maybe women work harder, in general, than men, knowing that they'll have to excel in order to stand any chance of success in the workplace. Women have to be consistently significantly better than men in order to earn the same opportunities." To me this is would be called bigoted if applied to any other demographic. Saying "women work harder" can be paraphrased as 'men are lazier than women'. It would be racist is you said 'blacks are lazier than whites'... So why isn't it considered sexist when applied to the male gender? This is the hypocrisy that is referred to. Can't reply to everything just now. In the bath. | |||

"I've just stumbled across this thread. I've been in Fab rehab all day! I don't have much to say really. Why? Well there isn't much to say really. In society today, there is not equality. Not just between men and women but in many other aspects of life. If anyone disagrees with this. Then they need to take off the blinkers, open their eyes and look around them. Inequality is everywhere around us. Saying that, as a society we must continue to educate people. Things are going in the right direction but it is a long road. Prejudices are engrained into many people from a young age and it will take time to open peoples minds to what is right and just. It is the responsibility of us all to take a stand and point out injustices as we see them and i hope that we all do. The human race has many flaws and time will tell if we are strong enough to correct them. Now....did someone have the kettle on? "Laughing my arse off! | |||

"I think sexism exist . But only toward men ! Everything evolves around women and I think it's really wrong specially when men treat women equally ! Anybody else's thoughts ? "that's a rather sexist remark, IMO but hey, what do I know | |||

" For those accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression Ooo, I like that. May use it in future I heard it elsewhere, it's not mine. I'm not sure who it is attributed to though. It's a pretty good quote I must say. And very true. A lot of men were raised to believe that they are stronger and better than women, so it stands to reason for them to jump to the conclusion that it's now sexist towards men. I won't deny that sexism towards men does exist. I have seen it. Like real sexism. But sexism towards females is more common and can be more dangerous Yes, men can suffer from gender discrimination too. I particularly feel for fathers separated from their child's mother sometimes. Although it's getting better, slowly, the system is heavily biased towards women. However, men don't experience anything like the discrimination and limitations faced by women in most areas of our lives, on a daily basis. Exactly. For instance, men are not targeted for wearing certain clothing items. And if a man sleeps with a lot of women, he is a lad or a legend. But if a woman does that, she is targeted for abuse" And if a man doesn't/can't sleep with women he could be target of ridicule. I'm not saying either have it worse. Just that the male point of view is neglected and if you disagree with the current Feminist movement then you are a bigot. Branding your opponents as bigoted by default is wrong. | |||

"It's hilarious how some, (not all, thankfully), 20-something men think they are experts on the sex discrimination that women experience, or, apparently, imagine we experience. It must be all that life experience and experience of living as a woman...oh, wait... How a 20-something man can honestly think he can tell a 40-something woman about the barriers she does or does not face (and has or has not faced) is beyond me! As for saying one has to look at the facts, and to "go and google", without having any idea what the facts actually are...
A report by the Office for National Statistics late last year found plenty of statistics to suggest the pay gap is indeed real and is far worse in the UK than in most other European countries."Could you link me that report please x | |||

"Hahahaha you keep telling yourself that OP, that's why the Everyday Sexism project exists, pay inequality is still a thing etc. I think you may be confusing women often having the upper hand on Fab with real life. Actually none of that is true. The everyday sexism project is a joke. Oh? What makes you say that? lt has been illegal to pay anyone less for the same work for decades. Men tend to choose better paying, more dangerous and more unsociable hours. The is why over 90% of work place fatalities. Men make up the vast majority of the homeless, graduate university less than women and are far more likely to be the victim of serious assault. Women still have issues though. We need to stop looking at this through the traditional lense imo." That is in the Government sector and in the commercial sector. If you own your own company and you are self employed, you are allowed to set your own rates. Aslong as it is above minimum wage, you can pay people whatever you want. Just because it is against the law for companies to do it, does not mean other people do not do it. I see it happening all the time in my industry and it's unfair. So look into it more before saying it does not happen | |||

" I'm not branding people. I am just stating that women do have it worse off when it comes to sexual activity. Don't get me wrong, it is wrong that a guy has to lie about sleeping with someone as not to be ridiculed, but a woman has to lie about not sleeping with someone. And a lot of the time, they fear for saying no to sleeping with someone as there are reports of women being shot or attacked because they said no to a man. Not saying it doesn't happen to men, but they aren't being publicised as the media works on what is in the public interest at that moment of time | |||

"I dont suffer anyday sexism that a man doesnt suffer. If i didnt see so many feminist hypocrits i might taks it more seriously. Yes sexism exists but instead of complaining who has it worst we should strive for equality across the board, sex, age, religion, race. You don't suffer any 'out of the ordinary' sexism - forgive me if I don't whoop with joy. Just because you don't experience any abuse or oppression that you don't also see men experiencing, that doesn't make feminists 'hypocrites.'j have experienced some females being hypocrites. Why on earth would you be whooping with joy" My point being: just because you 'dont suffer any sexism that a man doesnt suffer' doesn't mean that feminists are hypocrites for highlighting issues that only affect women, or affect women in a disproportionate degree. | |||

Your sweeping generalisations only help to undermine any point you are trying to make and fit perfectly with a heteronormative privileged world view. | |||

"There seems to be an increase of men feeling insecure in who they are decrying that they are oppressed by women and retaliating by being even more sexist than ever. Seeing it so much on here has been putting me off meeting over the last year. I'm no loss but if others feel as I do..." would pay it no heed, pretty sure with some it's down to their own insecurities, other's it may be that they don't like that women on here by and large can call the shots with whom they meet and that as evidenced on a regular basis leads to some shattered conceptions and damaged ego's.. other's just need to be able to blame someone rather than take a look at themselves.. | |||
