Do you think western/modern society is sexist towards men?

[egann]

no i do not think modern society is sexist towards men

Yes I do because we are constantly expected to do so much without the help of others. Women on the other hand is treated delicately and pampered in many situations where a guy is just suppose to tough it out and keep moving forward.

A.) Have you been reading about the comments that majority of the men have been posting about women and their place being in the kitchen and making them a sandwich? Every time I see one of those comments, it pisses me off. If any of my guy friends said that to me, I'd punch them in the face. But then again, I'm not friends with those types of men.

I think a man can be both. They're just treated that way because he's picked on by other men and sometimes girls. I'd pick a man that would rather cook instead of lift weights.

B.) Women are more of targets and they have been targets of rape since the dawn of time. A long time ago, if a woman was found out to be a Lesbian in another country, men would rape her to PURIFY her and they would bury her in the sand up to her neck and throw stones at her until she dies. That's another thing that pisses me off.

Men are not usually the victims of rape and I think that people are unsure of how to act because it's not normal for a man to be overpowered by a woman. Usually when a man is raped, it's usually young boys touched by teachers, but that's statutory, at best.

This is something that shouldn't even be mentioned. It's common sense.

C.) I'd risk my life for my man, if I had one, but I'm Bisexual and I'm engaged to a woman. But I'd risk my life for my guy, if he was worth dying for.


I don't know what happened in the last half year, but there seems to be a lot more Feminist people out there and I seriously want to tell all of them to shut the **** up. I want to tell the men saying, "Go make me a sandwich" to shut the **** up, too. No, in fact, I'd make him a sandwich....and put poison in it.

But no, society is not sexist against men. I'm 100% on my opinion.

Well, I don't know if it's sexist or not but clearly boys who are somewhat feminine are considered weak and unmanly. So it's at least a double standard. It may actually be that the characteristics we think off as girly or feminine are still derided while masculine characteristics are celebrated.

In my own family, I am a 16 year old boy who has always been drawn to things that people consider girly, especially fashion and dance. I love to cook and sew, don't like getting dirty or playing rough, and am terrible at sports. My kid sister, on the other hand, is a real tomboy who plays every sport, including playing baseball with boys. And everyone's like, "Isn't it cute that Julia can play with the boys?" But with me they're like, "It's a shame that Jackie is such a sissy; why can't he be like a 'real' boy?

So yes, I think your point is a good one. There is a real double standard.
