unreported personal experiences of sexism/sexual harassment?

[ideologue08]

Since you mentioned sexism / sexual harassment towards men (which I think is a bigger problem than most people realise), I thought I'd post this:

http://www.avoiceformen.com/activism/about/

Not all the facts on that page are entirely accurate; some have reasonable explanations; others have questionable sources, but a lot of them are verifiable.

Oh, and before someone mentions it, no, I'm not a misogynist. I'm well aware that sexism affects women a hell of a lot too, perhaps more so. My point is, why concentrate on one sex when the problem spans both.

Wow, that is a depressing read, I didn't know we were that oppressed. I already knew the statistics on divorce and child custody cases were like that, but there's a lot of interesting facts there. I would argue that it is much much easier for females to sexually abuse younger males than it is the other way around, that's why stats like that are coming out. Males are not even taken seriously apparently most of the time.

But we have to put things into a bit of perspective, in places like Africa and South America, women are literally considered walking sex objects and they act upon that, so overall globally, sexual harassment is skewed against females, although in the first world, there's a good shout males are more discriminated against.

It is easier for girls to be in vulnerable situations than boys and women against men, so the justice system is naturally slightly biased. Once a boy reaches the age of puberty for example, there's now way they can be sexually harassed without them being able to defend themselves considerably or at least retaliate in some fashion , so they have to be in prison or at the doctor's etc. in very vulnerable situations in order to be exploited by females. But females on the other hand, by their very nature are always vulnerable, because they cannot defend themselves at all against a determined male sexual predator (I don't really use the words " sexual predator" since it's American but I like it because it sounds very aggressive, it's befitting).
