-A blind eye is frequently turned towards men who suffer from domestic violence regarding women who hit men while a spotlight is shone on men who hit women. (I have been in an abusive relationship where the girl would full-out punch me, knowing that even though I am immensely stronger than her that I would not strike back because of gender roles. It is not socially acceptable for me to acknowledge it or that it does hurt both emotionally and physically even though it may not hurt as much physically as a dude my size taking the swing)
-Men are expected to work longer hours,

relocate more frequently,

take on more dangerous assignments,
Chivalry, which I remind you comes from the assumption that a woman is incapable of handling said loads. That's why so many feminists hate it so much.
in addition to keeping a smaller portion of their check due to common obligations (for example, I pay my household's bills out of my paycheck while my wife's paycheck is for spending and savings, this is a common practice in which males may not have as ready access to their partner's bank account as I do)
That's a common setup for a dual-income household. One check to handle the day-to-day stuff, the other for extras and saved for emergencies. And back in the day, your paycheck would've had to handle
both duties. That's not sexism, that's basic financial sense.
-Men are required to sign up for military draft and women are not.
First, there is no draft. Secondly, women have been fighting for the right to get into combat duties as it is, due to the conception that they can't handle combat. Sexist yes, but not against us.
-Men are expected to risk their lives in situations of confrontation or danger to protect others and are considered cowards if they fail to do so.
That's called being The Man. Being the traditional Provider and Protector came (and comes) with certain Duties. Again, you Pay the Cost to be the Boss.
And again, women have been calling for the right to put themselves on the line for some time now.
-Men have fewer scholarship opportunities than women to the point that women graduating with degrees now outweigh males graduating with degrees.
Once again, if you make a claim, back it the hell up.
-Aside from just domestic violence, it is more socially acceptable for violence to occur against men than it is against women (For example, GTA 5 was not taken off the shelves of target and kmart because of violence against people, it was removed for violence against women even though GTA's story-based violence is almost entirely against men if not entirely so. This sends the message that Target and Kmart are ok with violence against men)
Dude, the whole world is okay with violence against men. Roughly a third of our traditional gender rules are based on the following sentence:
"Men can take it, Women can't."
And that was
MEN who said that.
-Women get preferential treatment in custody hearings and divorce settlements.
-Males are expected to be taller, smarter, more athletic and make more money than his spouse and is thought less of when he fails in any of those areas.
Because we Males proudly declared ourselves to be so. Well, maybe not the taller thing. That was genetics (and there are always exceptions). Don't go whining about it now.
-Males are conditioned to not admit weakness or express emotions.
And women are expected to have no control over their emotions at all.
-Males are significantly more likely to commit suicide than females (4 times more likely). Most of the reasons for this disparity are generally considered social pressures and expectations that place men at a disadvantage where seeking social support is concerned.
Once again, we took that load upon ourselves. And once again, we did it as a point of "innate superiority" over women.
-Male on male violence is treated as a sport and men who don't participate in it are frequently looked down on by their peers.
Meanwhile, female on female violence is treated as titillation. Yeah, I think we got the better part of that arrangement.
-While males do suffer rape (particularly in prison), there is even more stigma towards males admitting it than females due to the additional societal demand of males not showing weakness.
Go look up the word "Honor Killing", and see who still holds the short stick on rape.
-There are certain jobs that men are still looked down on as being feminine, very similar to jobs that women are culturally discouraged from taking. (I have a personal story to tell you about the time I made straight-As in premed before announcing that I was interested in becoming a Nurse for a few years before going full-doctor. It may be telling that I am now in computer sciences as to how that announcement turned out)
And there are still certain jobs that are looked upon as masculine, with women looked down upon and discouraged from trying to take.
-Light forms of male subservience (helping others carry heavy objects, opening a door, etc) are seen as chivalrous/gentlemanly and not generally required to be reciprocated.
And chivalry itself is often seen as sexist. By
women, mind you, for reasons I explained above.
