Facts Chosen From An Article On Male Sexism

-Boys are commonly shown less compassion than girls from an early age (amongst other things, boys are picked up after and slower than girls when they cry).
-Although a majority of women make less than men on the job; men are expected to relocate more often, work longer hours, and to keep a smaller cut of their paycheques for themselves than women, due to socially decided portions of obligations such as mortgages, romantic outings, and such.
-Men are expected to occupy the most dangerous and/or lowest paying jobs and positions (waste collection, roofing and construction, truck driving, mining, logging, firefighting, most things related to war).
-The pressure on women to ‘hold down a man’ is synonymous with the pressure on men to ‘hold down a job.’
-Women are expected to date up, men are expected to date down. A man is expected to be taller, smarter, more athletic, and earn more than his female companion. There’s also a gender-specific ageism at play (preference for older men, and younger women).
-Men are conditioned to reject anything feminine within themselves such as emotions, frailty, and so on (homophobia could be argued as a physical and violent manifestation of this conditioned rejection).
-Children bestow more love upon their stay-at-home moms than their sole-providing dads (this comes with the territory of his being away from the family for the longest period of time, multiple times). Husbands report, the few that do, that they feel as if they’re providing for a family that no longer loves them quite the way they used to.
-Throughout history women were/are treated as property, but men were/are expected to die for their property [and home and nation, which constitute as property] (some people, like Warren Farrell, conclude that they’re thus viewed as being worth less than their property).
-Male-on-male violence is treated as a sport, as an ideal, and as entertainment than for what it actually is. And men who choose not to participate in such violence are looked down upon by both men and women.
-The stats are iffy on this, but the combination of casually shunned female-on-male rape and male-on-male rape in places such as prison paints men as both leading victims of sexual violence and as the most silent majority (hence why the stats are iffy).

"I am a transgender teenager living in the United States. I have experienced both sides of the coin and one side should be taken into account. Growing up as a female on the outside people treated me like a delicate thing. Everyone took my opinions with a grain of salt. Not a lot of people treated me as their equal on the level of intelligence since I was just a 'girl'. Now coming out to my peers and family it seems as though everyone has completely shifted their view of my potential to learn and grow as an individual. No longer do classmates try and do simple tasks in my honor because they thought these said tasks were 'too difficult for me to do'. Sadly, even teachers acted in almost the same manner due to the society they grew up in. I am an equal now but I wasn't always. In the eyes of other people, women are damaged if touched. Too much weight could crush them even if it was an empty cardboard box. Those who say sexism is all in the imagination are lying to themselves."

"I am [male to female] transgender engineer working for a large aerospace company. I transitioned midcareer. I have found that prior to my transition, my input and opinions in meetings were were regarded and considered. Post-transition, I could render an opinion or assertion, and it seems that only when a male colleague affirms the same assertion, only then is it taken seriously. He will then get credit for the idea. This is apart to constantly being interrupted while speaking. If anyone wants to proclaim that this type of behavior does not exist, I have my life, lived in two genders, to refute this."
