yes the fact that women are

absolute outdated rubbish. A cheat is a cheat

- objectified by the press and pressurised into worrying about the way they look all the time- by other women not by men

- not as well represented in politics as much as men
its a democracy if they want to stand and fight they can

- still not earning as much as men in a lot of professions
because over a lifetime they do not on average commit as many full time hours to their professions. Additionally there are certain careers which involve physical risk which pay a lot and women do not apply for those roles in such great numbers.

- prohibited from reaching as higher positions as men because of a glass ceiling effect (this problem is mainly worse for working class women too which is a different issue altogether)- they are not prohibited from anything that is simply untrue

...amongst many, many others, are definitely not examples of sexism
all your examples i have 100% refuted in a minute




look, sexism works both ways and yes i agree in that there are issues facing men that need addressing but to shrug off injustices towards other groups which don't interest you and pretend that inequality towards them doesn't exist is just pathetic

2) Who said anything about cheating? Eh? Sleeping around doesn't mean cheating? Single promiscuous women that have multiple sexual partners are labelled as 'sluts' and 'slags' yet if a man does the same he is celebrated among his friends and doesn't face half as much criticism as a woman does. This is not outdated rubbish, it is a FACT

3) Yes women do perpetuate the problem regarding appearance fixation and I think that's a sad thing to see but no they do not start the problem, men are the editors of most newspapers and they oversee the content and types of articles that are published. The Mail Online is the worst for this, their depictions and descriptions of women are vile

4) The suicide rate being higher among men is a very big problem and the root causes need addressing as do solutions but that is not sexist? Are you suggesting women cause suicide?

5) The same applies to women outliving men, yes an issue but women don't decide that...that's not sexist either. A problem, but not sexist


I just don't get why you cherry pick inequality that suits you and what you're interested in? It exists for many groups in society, not just men or disabled people. Just because it's not as important for you it does not mean that it doesn't exist and to suggest so is ****ing laughable

There's injustices and inequalities facing all types of groups of people, to ignore some and to pretend they're problems that don't exist just because you have no connection to them/understanding of them/interest in them is pathetic

It is utter rubbish. its seen as ust the same, youre way way behind the times. in fact women show off about their sexual conquests and discuss their intimate carnal pursuits with other people far far more than men

3) Yes women do perpetuate the problem regarding appearance fixation and I think that's a sad thing to see but no they do not start the problem, men are the editors of most newspapers and they oversee the content and types of articles that are published.

women are the main creators of this pressure. they pressurise each other. very very rarely do you hear men pressurise women over their appearance, compared to how women pressurise other women. your generalisation and attack on the mail is so predictable and as ever plays to the liberal TIBB gallery. the mail is a vast media outlet that carries more news stories and info than all other UK papers combined

4) The suicide rate being higher among men is a very big problem and the root causes need addressing as do solutions but that is not sexist? Are you suggesting women cause suicide?

Im suggesting we dont talk about it, we dont do anything about it. im suggesting the entire anti men , male bashing uk culture is massively responsible for the massive male suicide rate. this isnt helped by the fact vastly less is spent on male problems, supporting men and on mens health too
of course the fact men lose most paternity suits and divorce cases all creates massive pressures which often lead to male suicides. but of course its barely ever discussed in mainstream tv. in fact ive never ever seen it even mentioned on the bbcs flagship political program question time. better to talk about womens problems eveyr week non stop



5) The same applies to women outliving men, yes an issue but women don't decide that...that's not sexist either. A problem, but not sexist

all the mitigating factors against men lead to their premature deaths. they work longer hours on average, give more of their income away than do women on average. they lose their homes and kids in most divorces. they have far less support from all sorts of organizations and from the government. any institutes for abused husbands? why not? oh yes men are 20 pounds heavier and 2 inches taller so somehow they therefore need less support?


I just don't get why you cherry pick inequality that suits you and what you're interested in? It exists for many groups in society, not just men or disabled people. Just because it's not as important for you it does not mean that it doesn't exist and to suggest so is ****ing laughable

for you to suggest sexism isnt far greater against men in the Uk now, is laughable
