| Aerys said: The reality and truth is that men are as much victim of gender inequality. It's not a minor equality and shouldnt be considered as such. And you forgot some, everything about money and price, women have often free things, like nightclubs or more " special clubs", they have cheaper price for a lot of things like beauty institute ( which cant be explained by logic contrary at what some people think) , and the one that upset me the most is the big advantage in job of communication, the easiest job to get, in shops, owners have often 2 reasons to take a woman over a woman, one obvious and the other if you are in a woman shop ( which constitue 50% of the shops ), it's not common a woman shop that takes men so it becomes much much harder to find a small job like this ( whereas it's a very cool job) because we have much much less choices. Whereas, on the other side, a girl can easily work in a man or girl or mixed gender shop without any problem. I dont know if it's the same everywhere but at least here, it's like that, i've been personnally victim of this gender discrimination when a owner told me " you seem to be good, i would like to take you but my boss told me we cant take men anymore because women are scared " WTF lol , and it's not the only case i experienced while i was looking for a job |
the problem is that men/boys are forced to understand at a very early age that they are to be "strong"... even if its not an explicit expectation we all understand that it is heavily implied and as a result men tend not to acknowledge the various ways that they are disadvantaged in society
the same to a certain extent applied to women before feminism, but after feminism all of the expectations society placed on women are seen as oppressive and so they are being torn down
so women are freeing themselves from the burdens society placed on them while men generally still shoulder the ones placed on them because it is seen as their duty to do so
this is where groups like the "manosphere" are emerging from... these are men that see the changing conditions and are seeking to adapt to the changes... whether that is a good thing or not i don't know... one could argue that societal expectations were there for a reason but who knows
