Sexism against men

[Fanfic_warper]

This is ridiculious. Women are still oppressed and men are still the oppresors.

sexism at it's finest. Men seem to get a bad rep because honestly, it's broadcasted everywhere when a guy does something wrong but when a woman does something wrong, it's like everyone works to cover it up.

You ever try and balance a pencil on your finger?

Go get a pencil, but put it on your finger really lopsided (but don't let it fall).

Then try to adjust it to balance it out.

What happens? The pencil ends up leaning the other way, doesn't it? It's now unbalanced, but in the opposite direction.

And when you try and put it back, the same will happen.

After some deliberation, you'll finally have it balanced on your finger... but it'll always wobble to and fro.

Think of sexism like that. Women started on the harsh end of things. Right now, though we don't have it nearly as bad as they did, men have it kinda bad. Some people might call it "reverse sexism" even though that makes no fucking sense and they should be slapped. Soon enough, though, it'll balance out, but that inequality will always be there, even if it isn't obvious or huge. The scales will always wobble. We just need to learn to deal with it when it comes.

I hate it when people say it "reverse racism" when a minority hates on a white person. It's not "reverse" racism. This implies racism is only something white people do and when a minority partakes of it it should get a special title of some sort.

It's racism. Just plain, old, ugly, racism. No matter who is doing it.

Drunk posting, go!

Sexism in general is just wrong, but sadly it is more likely to be overlooked or brushed under the carpet when it's against men. Why is this? I genuinely have no idea, probably political correctness or some shit backed up by the 'fight for womens rights' argument, probably designed to lay a huge fucking guilt trip on men when they complain ("We went through all this shit, now it's your turn to be abused because you have to be nice to us these days"). Although then there's also the whole 'take it like a man' bullshit too which makes it difficult in this society for a man to shout "SEXISM!" without looking like some sort of alien gimp. We, as men, are just expected to take abuse from women and do nothing about it "because we're stronger than them".

"Women's Rights" is also a load of horseshit; is the concept of "Equal Rights" too balanced for Feminazis to understand? Fucking scrags.

But still, men are subjected to stereotypes just as often as women.

Proof:

Duke Nukem. Sure, he's pretty much a satire on male action heroes, but he is the LIVING EMBODIMENT of male stereotypes. And he picks up shit literally out of a toilet and throws it around a room. Why was DNF made again?

Anyways, stereotypes blah blah blah and yeah. Stereotypes.

1.) He's a fictional character; not really anything 'living' about him. Yes, I'm just being picky.
2.) To be fair, he does complain each and every time you make him do this.

One thing I want to know is whilst there is no such thing as a "woman's job" (Nurse, Flight assistant, Cleaner, etc) men are still expected to hold doors open for women, do most - if not all - handiwork and give up seats on the bus. So often today, the mother will remain home as the father goes out and works. Some feminists would see that as stereotype, yet often it's the mothers choice.

Where do you live? That's not expected of the men where I live.

Of course they are. This doesnt mean anything. At all. Definately not the fact this was given the go ahead on national TV and the perp is still 100% not ostracised/blamed/crucified like a man would be.

Umm... It's called chivalry. The thing school has been teaching me since I was old enough to reach a door handle (MY school at least) was that the polite thing to do was hold it open and allow women to go through first. On the bus, it's the same as getting up for an old or sick person. As for the rest, that's just cliche's and stereotypes from movies. In my family, both my father and mother worked.

Yea, I'm aware of what it's called; my point is that you shouldn't generalize popular attitudes based on your experience. I wouldn't even give up my seat for a person with a cane let alone a healthy woman.

You're aware of what it's called... but do you know what it MEANS? It's the age old code, dating back over a thousand years. Also, I think you've given us quite an insight on the kind of person you are... Again, in our buses, it has SIGNS reminding us to get up for an elderly person, because it's the NICE THING TO DO. If you struggled walking (be it age or injury) surely you would appreciate someone giving up their seat so you don't have to worry about your walking prowess as well as being on a moving vehicle.

My point is that while you may experience chivalry in your community, mine does not. Do you understand? Just because you are expected to act a certain way doesn't mean the rest of the world acts in that manner.

I don't recall saying the rest of the world acts the same way. Of course it doesn't. It would be stupid of me to think so. Nor do I remember any specification on whether this was strictly global, or that I was forbidden to give others an insight of my community. Some places have racism, some have sexism, some have EXTRAODINARILY large crime rates, but all are different. Taking the best of all of them would create a utopia, but that'll never happen.
