I just watched the misandrist male bashing bonmarche advert where women are hitting men and mocking them and no one bats an eyelide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS6u4NPFI2Q came across just a few of 1000s of male bashing adverts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S62sl-qWEqo....the general theme is all men are morons, incapable, selfish, lazy, greedy, incapable, dumb , ignorant stupid idiots and all women are perfect and betetr at everything and of course thats not sexist at all?


If it was the other way around the adverts would be pulled down the company fined, politicians would be debating it and feminists would be up in arms..What a disgraceful bigoted ,male bashing culture we now live in, no doubt it must destroy the confidence of young boys watching..But who cares about them eh? they fall ever further behind in schools and educattion and young men earn way less than young women on average and of course male suicides are 4 times the rate and womens mental health gets over 10 times as much money spent on it too..The double standards are appalling and this proves yet again feminists do not want equality they want to live by different sets of rules which put womens rights as far more important than mens

You are talking about "discrimination against men" while unfortunately, we live in a society where women are considered inferior and have many less opportunities in every single sector? Please stop it, it's ridiculous. This "sexism against males thing" doesn't even exist. You've made it up.

While this tread is a bit of a reach... sexism has negative effects both men and women and just because men's issues are not talked about doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yes I am 100% deadly serious, men are more discriminated against in british society than women. Women get 10 times more money spent on their health, men commit suicide at 4 times the rate, men die younger by 5 years across the entire western world, almost 50% of men grow up fatherless, fathers lose custody in over 80% of divorce cases, and over 80% lose their homes too, boys are light years behind girls at every level of education and women under 30 earn considerably more on average than men...This casual misandry such as this advert actually advocates violence against men. More mothers than fathers are violently abusive to their children. This is simply not reported onn mainstream news anymore because the rise of fascist feminism which basically disables all free speech that involves criticizing the fmeinist agenda.

I agree with the OP. The violence ad especially is horrific. You speak of feminists though...getting ads banned and such. Can I ask one thing? Why do you expect feminists (who are mainly about womens rights) to stand up for men? In theory I agree that fighting for equality in general is the way forward, but surely there should be men standing up for themselves rather than expecting women to do it...if that makes sense? Why is there no male' equivalent of feminists? You could maybe start off such a movement, given your dedication to pointing out how males are disadvantaged?

And the second example is stereotypical to both sexes. The man burping, lazy and childish. The woman a harridan, constantly cleaning and hard done by. It works both ways.

Despite what you have been told, in the western world today almost all legal and lethal sexual discrimination is against men.
Men are 97% of combat fatalities.
Men pay 97% of Alimony
Men make 94% of work suicides.
Men make up 93% of work fatalities.
Men make up 81% of all war deaths.
Men lose custody in 84% of divorces.
80% of all suicides are men.
77% of homicide victims are men.
89% of men will be the victim of at least one violent crime.
Men are over twice as victimised by strangers as women.
Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than women.
Men get 63% longer sentences than women for the same crime.
Court bias against men is at least 6 times bigger than racial bias.
Males are discriminated against in school and University.
Boys face vastly more corporal punishment than girls.
60-80% of the homeless are men.
Women's Cancers receive 15 times more funding than men's
At least 10% of fathers are victims of paternity fraud.
One third of all fathers in the USA have lost custody of children, most are expected to pay for this.
40-70% of domestic violence is against men however less than 1% of domestic violence shelter spaces are for men.

Genuine feminists (i.e. liberal feminists and not radical ones, like most seem to assume all feminists are these days) support, fight and believe in the emancipation of women to achieve equality with men, and vice versa. It isn't about women surpassing men at all costs as some seem to believe, but more about bringing genuine equality to both sexes. This would thus - and does- actually include supporting issues which disproportionally affect men.

The OP is actually correct. There are very real issues that affect men more than women and they do need addressing, and in fact a lot of them stem from the socially constructed gender roles society has created (oh btw that reminds me, sorry I haven't got round to reading that link yet but I've been busy with moving back to uni - shall do it soon). That said, the truth seems to believe that discrimination and societal issues are a competition and exist in isolation of each other when that isn't the case at all (some reading on intersectionality would be useful). There are problems affecting men, women, homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, disabled people, etc etc to varying degrees - and they all need addressing.

THE REAL MONEY GAP.
Men earn 61.5% of all income but only account for 25% of domestic spending. Men only spend 40% of what they earn after tax. In contrast women make up 38.5% of all income but control 75% of domestic spending, women on average spend 90%

the truth

TAX & HEALTHCARE DISCRIMINATION
Men pay over 70% of income tax but the vast majority of public spending is on services for women. There is more money spent on breast cancer than lung cancer and prostate cancer combined, despite the fact that lung cancer alone has 3-4 times more fatalities than breast cancer. A man's chance of getting cancer is 44% and 23% of men will die from cancer, 38% of women get cancer and 19% die. Yet there is vastly more money spent on cancer for women, this is lethal discrimination. Women pay 60% less tax despite spending 300% more in domestic spending than men. Women also consume two third of public spending, there are 3 times the amount of gender specific health services for women than men despite the fact that for equal increases in health spending a man's life expectancy rate increases nearly twice as much as a woman's.

the truth
27-09-2016, 10:47 PM
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
There are hundreds of surveys which shows women are as violent if not more violent than men in domestic violence cases. Men get arrested in 85% of all arrests but its estimated that Women are the perpetrators in most Domestic Violence cases. Most reciprocal violence is started by women and 70% of non reciprocal violence is perpetrated by women. Women however only get arrested in 15% of all DV arrests. This example of 572 different studies covering 371,600 people demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm
More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men. http://www.batteredmen.com/NISVS.htm
Despite this though,99.3% of DV shelter spaces are for women and even men who report violence against them by women are arrested far more often than the woman who is attacking them

Is the obvious answer to this not...men more often work while women stay home with the kids and run the household...thus take care of bills and shopping and such? In MOST cases. That also accounts for in divorce proceedings women getting (more often than not) residency while men have visitation rights.

I may well be missing something though

You realise domestic spending means what is spent on the household/for the family? So it's not women going spending men's money on shoes. But her still having the responsibility to go and get the food in, pay the bills for the family including the men.

Think about things.

Vicky.
27-09-2016, 10:58 PM
I disagree with all forms of violence. However the DV violence stats you quote seem to miss out that

Domestic abuse: Will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime. Leads to, on average, two women being murdered each week and 30 men per year.

And again, womens refuges and such are set up by women for women. There is nothing stopping people opening mens DV refuges? Also do your percentages include hostels that say they are primarily for women, but do accept men? We have a local place that is called a 'womens refuge' but accept anyone who is a victim of DV...just wodnering if this would be classed under only female or not?

I find the percentages astronomically high though for violence against men if those are correct. However the 2 per week v 30 per year kind of says...when men are violent the woman comes off a lot worse off. Not that that makes any of it any better/worse though

Side note, unless ONS have released new figures, seems your stats are wrong? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/12/14-million-women-suffered-domestic-abuse-last-year-ons-figures-show

Still a ridiculously high amount of DV in general though. And it is surprising that so much of it is against men.

1) Real sexism is almost no shelters for male victims of domestic violence.
2) Real sexism is men getting harsher punishments for the same crime.
3) Real sexism is countries with compulsorily military service for men.
4) Real sexism, courts that takes children from fathers based on gender.
5) Men cannot even vote or get citizenship without enrolling for the draft.
6) Real sexism is numerous government departments dealing with women's issues but none dealing with men's issues.
7) Male infant circumcision/genital mutilation is legal and performed widely and even completely socially accepted but female genital mutilation is not.
8) A young boy raped by a woman can be forced to pay child support to his rapist if she gets pregnant, that's real sexism.
9) Many countries do not even recognize female on male rape. It can maximally only amount to “sexual assault” that's real sexism.
10) Real sexism is having no special laws like VAWA to protect men, even though men are the majority of victims of violent crime.
11) There are drives to fill quotas for women for the high paid roles but not in the dangerous jobs dominated by men, thats real sexism.
12) In the army, police, fire service or any other position women have to meet much lower physical standards than men.
13) Real sexism is services for men only given a fraction of the funds that services for women are given at a government and a social level.
14) For the same crime, irrespective of the gender of the offender, the perpetrator gets more punishment if the victim is female rather than male.
15) Most divorce laws are skewed against men, men can lose half his properly, money and children to a woman who decides to leave him.

Up till around fifty-odd years ago, sexism against women in advertising wasn't only the norm, it was de rigueur. It's taken a long time for women to gain some kind of equality... what a shame that some women have gone on to use that equality to do to men what men did to women for centuries. Respect - both ways - it's the only answer.

You are talking about "discrimination against men" while unfortunately, we live in a society where women are considered inferior and have many less opportunities in every single sector? Please stop it, it's ridiculous. This "sexism against males thing" doesn't even exist. You've made it up.

Misandry absolutely exists and it's absurd that people insist on pretending it doesn't. There are situations where women are at a disadvantage, yes, but the same goes for men.

Just look at the general attitude towards men being assaulted by women and how casually it's treated. I watched a social experiment online where actors simulated domestic abuse in public and barely anyone cared when the man was the victim, some even said they assumed he deserved it. Then there's when The View panelists laughed at the story of a woman castrating her husband and when one of them brought up the double standard, the response was, and I quote, "It's different". It's things like this that result in male victims of domestic violence being less inclined to speak out, because there's still a disturbing trend of female-on-male violence being seen as funny and/or warranted.

So no, nobody's making anything up.

..yeah I totally agree Lostie and said earlier that some of those social experiments are extremely disturbing because it's not just that reactions are less to help a male but also that I many situations, it's actually laughed at and go girl, type thing in applauding the female....

Absolutely. Both the experiment I watched and that Talk fiasco (it was The Talk, I always mix it up with The View :laugh:) treated it like some form of female empowerment (the example from The Talk was even more unsettling because it was such a savage act and the first response was to laugh and basically act like he probably had it coming :umm2:).

While these sentiments are still around, I find it impossible to deny that prejudice against males exists. It does and the evidence is there, and acknowledging that doesn't in anyway invalidate the struggles that women face themselves.

Social sexism against men
16) Real sexism is being mocked when raped because you're a man.
17) Men are expected to not show emotion and remain stoic at all times.
18) Victim blaming is acceptable ONLY when men are the victims and women the perpetrator. This is real sexism.
19) Real sexism is having your gender stereotyped by society as being violent, abusers, etc.
20) Men’s lives are given less value in any emergency situation.
21) Male children are often given harsher punishments by teachers for the same level of mischief as girls.
22) Young boys are given less care and attention by parents than girls and beaten over twice as often as girls by parents.
23) Violence against men by women is much more socially acceptable.
24) Affirmative action for women only in jobs, education, grants, etc.
25) Men enrolled in are often given tougher, more dangerous tasks to perform than women in the same post (in a job) This is real sexism.
27) Males who complain about being objectified are shamed as being “mentally fragile” or their sexuality is questioned. This is real sexism.
28) Men do not have the privilege of showing affection to each other in public as women without people questioning their sexuality.
29) Men are expected to ask women out, pay for dates, decide on the venue – if she rejects him he is often labelled creepy or needy.
30) If a man slaps a woman, he is an abuser and a monster, If a woman slaps a man, “he must have done something to annoy her”
31) When a man breaks up with a woman, he is called a “jerk”. When a woman dumps a man, “he must have failed her somehow”
32) Men are excluded from many positions such as babysitters, etc.
33) Young men having to pay higher car insurance is acceptable but the idea of women having to pay more for health insurance is not.
34) Despite the fact that the real victims of sexual discrimination are men the term sexual discrimination usually excludes men and the vast majority of surveys and news stories about sexual discrimination dont include men.
35) Our culture and media makes the assumption of men as guilty, violent offenders where as women are given special treatment at every turn.
36) In modern movies and TV violence against men is glorified but violence against women is regarded as especially horrific.
37) Many news reports will read the number of people killed and then highlight women and children as more tragic than male death.
EG: "37 people were killed in a bus crash including 17 women"
38) Men are expected to carry heavy things for women, give up their seats for women, shovel snow, mow gardens and do any other job involving manual labour, that women do not wish to perform.
39) Real sexism is a society where men are taught that a man's role is to work, provide, pay and die in order to ensure a woman's happiness.
40) Real sexism is the fact that men working longer hours in harder more dangerous jobs to earn more money to pay for women's choices is being turned into a weapon against men.

The only post I'll make on this subject and other similar ones where a smaller "persecution" aspect of society is happening but is overlooked because of the opposite (racism against whites, heterophobia, etc.) is that it's all very fair and well to say that these things do indeed exist, and are a problem, but the types of people you see campaigning against them... you almost always never see them campaigning against racism, or sexism, or homophobia. So it comes off as incredibly problematic. If your sole political motivation is to make sure that white people aren't called vanilla all the time on Twitter, and you're going to at best ignore the thousands of instances of racial abuse, then it comes across as incredibly blinkered.

I do agree that you get a tough time on here sometimes truth but honestly I have never once seen you express any form of awareness of discrimination against women; in fact you often propagate it yourself.

And it's a real problem amongst the growing Trump/Milo crowds. They see their persecution and their "lack of freedom of speech" as a real thing. As if being told off and banned from Twitter for encouraging people to call black celebrities gorillas is a burden.

Why would I be talking about discrimination against women when Im talking about this grotesque discrimination against men? am I mean to say at the end of every sentence, oh but women get it hard too? Everyone is quite aware women get discriminated against too....In the 3rd world countries obviously that is much worse , though i reject the simplistic notion its often just men wanting to keep them down. In 3rd world nations the poverty the lack of education the lack of medical supplies and infrastructure, the endless wars all make these environments more wild and unruly and its about survival as much as anything else...We simply cant equate what happens there with the priveliged culture of the western world...Here discrimination aginst men is massively greater than against women.

The mass media and the political establishment do a fine job of highlighting every single problem women have from the major ones to the minscule ones. I am here to speak for the silent majority of men who are massively discriminated against. I dont and wont qualify every sentence with but women have it hard too, there are infinitely more male bashing sexist comments here and across the media than the other way around.

I realise I will be crucified on here and banned endlessly. That doesnt make one blind bit of difference to me , ban me forever, I wont be silenced, the truth is the truth and the truth will set you free!

Is the US the only country where more men are raped than women?

In January, prodded in part by outrage over a series of articles in the New York Review of Books, the Justice Department finally released an estimate of the prevalence of sexual abuse in penitentiaries. The reliance on filed complaints appeared to understate the problem. For 2008, for example, the government had previously tallied 935 confirmed instances of sexual abuse. After asking around, and performing some calculations, the Justice Department came up with a new number: 216,000. That's 216,000 victims, not instances. These victims are often assaulted multiple times over the course of the year. The Justice Department now seems to be saying that prison rape accounted for the majority of all rapes committed in the US in 2008, likely making the United States the first country in the history of the world to count more rapes for men than for women.
