Why do guys think that sexism isn't a big deal?

[ElizaPam]

Guys always talk about sexism like it's not a big deal like they won't care about sexist stuff and think it's ok and funny and say stuff like it doesn't exist anymore and they say that men go through more sexism nowadays but anyone who is a girl can tell you that is not true!!

Honestly the polls on this website just reaffirm this because I saw a poll that asked when you should tell a girl you only want to use her for sex and the girls answered the soonest answers and the guys answered the longest answers!

[Chico_brah]

You sounds easily triggered. Sexism doesn't even really exist today and the banter between male and female goes both ways. Learn to take a joke. If you live in the US, then I'm going to call bullshit that you're experiencing sexism. No women I know in my real life are experiencing sexism. Most of the women that I know including my girlfriend says she actually feels pretty damn privileged to be a girl. Develop thicker skin and stop acting like a snowflake.

[drG_NePhyAplMa]

because sexism exists both ways. i know 5 guys used by girls to raise children they latter found out wasn't there's. sure guys do shit things to girls, i dont disagree with that. you also have to agree girls use guys as well. in our society i would say its about equal overall.

[DinaM]

'Cause it's easier to see your own problems than it is to see the other person's problems. When guys say that sexism doesn't exist, or that sexism is all against them now, it's because they haven't experienced what it's like for girls.

Guys have their problems, and there's a lot about the modern gender roles that's just as unfair to guys, so that's what they notice.

[DinaM]

Adding:

My father was a pretty big victim of sexism.

See, my mother died giving birth to me, and for the first twelve years of my life, my dad took care of me alone, while also having to work a full-time job. Because he was a man, and I was a girl, he came under close scrutiny; he faced many assumptions that a single father couldn't raise a daughter. Social workers even showed up at our home to make sure I wasn't being sexually abused. There was NO reason for them to assume I was, other than I was raised by a man.

My dad worked hard for acceptance of men in traditionally female roles, he was actually part of a big movement that helped giving fathers more rights as parents, and fought against discrimination. He went through a LOT, and he's my hero for it.

But you know what he never did? He NEVER complained about feminists. He just listened to them. And he understood. Because he had faced discrimination himself he knew it sucked, and he didn't waste time arguing who had it worse.

"anyone who is a girl can tell you that is not true!!"

Well, if guys are wrong because they can't experience girls' pov, then girls are wrong because they can't experience guys' pov, right?

Lmao you're just proving the point of every guy that says men have it worse xD

[girther]

well I haven't read the results of the poll but whatever the results are I have to say the probably not very accurate because most of the guys in on this website are really losers and no way close to what guys are in real life these guys are a bunch of pussies so I don't think any poll would be accurate or valuable with these guys

[Kabsklwbsv]

That's not sexist to want to use a girl sexually.
It's simply she has what you want and that's the best method of obtaining it.
Men are tired of being called sexist because it's no longer true. Sexism against men is in the media much more then the opposite
The only difference is that men don't get hurt easily like women do so they prefer to get on with things

[CreamLight]

sexism is a big deal but since it begun to be used by politicians people say it isn't a big deal because politicians make everything seem like it's an opinion, you either think how they do and demonize everything they don't like, or think in an opposite way and demonize what they like, so now the loudest people against sexism are too loud and exaggerate it, and the others are tired to see it exaggerated and think it isn't even a thing

[Justinaveragedude]

Sexism is a big deal, and for the record, your assertion that guys don't fall victim to sexism is a total sexist assertion. I have a very sexist mother, she berated, devalued and abused me every chance she got because of my gender. So please, don't devalue an entire gender because you are sexist. You will just continue to perpetuate a workd in which the Sexism you hate continues because you keep it going.

If you want to end sexism, start by fixing yourself.

[Shimy]

She didn't say that guys can't be victim of sexism, she said that women are more likely to be. Doesn't mean sexism toward men doesn't exist

[Justinaveragedude]

@Shimy what we're her exact words? Because simply looking at what she said, the grammer, all of it. What she said is that sexism is worse for women and men don't really go through it or care about it. So, since it is only bad for girls to be victim of it, and any girl can tell you this, then it is not bad for a guy to go through it. Her comments in relation to her question are sexist.

[DinaM]

No, what she said was that sexism still exists, and guys don't go through MORE sexism that girls do. She said nothing about who it was worse for, and she wasn't devaluating anyone. Don't read hatred into a statement that didn't contain any.

[Justinaveragedude]

@DinaM I said nothing about hate, only sexism.

[DinaM]

All right, my mistake. But you still read a meaning into the statement that wasn't there.

[Justinaveragedude]

@DinaM I disagree, I do feel her statement was sexist. And the simple truth is, sexism is so much worse then it used to be, in some cases it is less apparent because it used to be more overt. But now that it is more hidden, it is so much more prevalent. It is much worse on both sides now because it is kept hidden and no one wants to face it. We can't fix it in a simple Internet forum, but if people realize that they are being sexist and offensive, at least we are moving in the right direction.

[DinaM]

No, you claimed that she said that it was only bad for girls to be the victims of sexism. Which she never said at all.

None of us are denying that sexism against men exists, or that it's not bad when guys are victims of sexism. Well, I'm not, at least. and neither Eliza nor Shimy ever said anything of the sort.

[Justinaveragedude]

@DinaM I am willing to be wrong, but taking what she said line by line, utilizing proper punctuation and grammer, it reads to me that she is saying that guys are not victimized by it because to us it is not serious or it is just a joke.

[gregnator]

sexism isn't a big deal, because there's no to little sexism in the West. go to Saudi Arabia, there you'll find what real sexism looks like

[Haemoglobin]

What does it matter who answered long or short? Girls are and always will be lazier in typing for some reason. And sexism is very old thing. Maybe new for you. So it will unlikely go away anytime soon.

[Rangers]

The girls who say it's not true is because they are illogical and refuse to acknowledge the valid evidence we have and continue to present debunked myths like the pay gap as evidence.

[Prime_Sol]

OP literal is playing the victim and it's disgusting.

[karahiri]

i think it's easier for people to not give a shit about something if they are not directly affected.

[YHL6965]

Why do girls think that sexism is a big deal? Feminist tend to be the most sexist persons on this planet, even beating some of the worst machos.

[dezine]

the simplest answer is that people have trouble relating to the struggles of others in general. Since men do not face the same struggles it is easy to look past.

[TheUglyMonk]

The real question is:
Why do Americans think that way?

[gregnator]

cuz murica

[TheUglyMonk]

Murica !!

[yourmad482829]

because over time girls claiming something that is sexist isn't sexist at all

[RandomFella]

Being a fuckboy =\= sexism

[TaciturnNoor]

cuckacuckacuckacuckacuckacuckacucka... CUCK MANNNN

[Browneye57]

Evidently it's a big deal to YOU.

[emerald77]

Because they never have to live it.

[gregnator]

lol okay. because women are the eternal victims right?

[that_dude_v2]

Because girls know all about being a guy

[that_dude_v2]

Honestly your first argument completely destroys itself, you say men say they go through more sexism, but they don't know because they're not women, but if you just switch the roles you could say you can't say you go through more sexism because you're not men

[disgustingweebtrash]

Nothing to back your claims up?

[Anonymous]

Women are more sexist. Particularly feminists.
