Sexism is like Racism you don't see your own prejudice because it's blocked by the oppression of others.

I compare sexism to racism because I as a black male can relate better this way.

There are racist people. I've met my fair share of them. But meeting 1 racist white guy out of the 500 white guys I know shouldn't prompt me to to claim that all white guys are racists. Especially considering I KNOW not all 500 of the white guys I know are prejudicial towards people of color. I also know that everyone has a certain level of predjudical bias in their heart whether they know it or not. It's an effect of the world we live in.

So when it comes to sexism it's unfair to claim that guys are inherently sexist. Because you've formerly met guys who have made misogynistic comments.

One particular experience of mine is I had an older white lady ask me with a stern voice if I had paid for something as I left the store with it, implying that I may have stolen what I had purchased. So does that mean all old white ladies are racists? I know they aren't, because I infact consider an older white Lady as my second grandmother. (Which I mean is ironic cuz I'm black) there was another guy who said to my face, he was going to "shoot all the ni****s at school with his glock 18." He was most definitely racist... But does that mean every white highschool male is racist.. or even homicidal? Not at all.

The same way I can't say that women are sexist because I've had some women say that I "probably have a small d***" and unfortunately I've been touched by a woman when I didn't want to be. Like you don't just randomly grope a guys balls. That's completely in appropriate. And I know not all women are like that. Which means not all women are sexist.

[NotKrispy]

I think in the end you can't label one gender as this or the other. Because it has to do with individuals. The same way I know there are racists but not all white people are racist is the same way women know that there are some disgusting sexists but not all men are sexist.

The last thing I want to say is... Check your own prejudice against men... Ik a lot of Black people who are really predjudical against white people. "white people this, white people that." It's disturbing especially when it come to them wanting to end the racial divide...

Don't promote sexism by preaching that all men are thirsty misogynist. Make sure you don't adopt the idea that all men are this or that because that would make you sexist...

[Vencam]

I really agree with what you say, but I don't think that is the point the questions wanted to rise (in my understanding, at least)
I think the question is about which sex has a bigger share of sexist individuals. It should not imply that one gender is INHERENTLY more sexist then the other, just which, at this point in time, have the bigger number (or ratio) of sexist individuals

[Vencam]

By the way, I'm curious to know your answer under this perspective, from your experience

[NotKrispy]

In that case I think I'd have to say men... Media sexualizes women so much especially when it comes to porn. It causes those who view porn to look at woman more and more as objects of pleasure rather than smart and unique individual who contribute to society in a positive way. Porn I think is one of the biggest contributors. Because many men don't know what a real woman is or is meant to be. But to be fair... Women are the ones who have put themselves in this situation to begin with. Most porn stars go into the industry because they need money. Same reason why women become prostitutes. But the fact that they lower their standards so low just to make a quick buck is a shame in the first place. Personally I believe it's disgustingly stupid for prostitution to be illegal, and pornography to be legal.( I do understand though that some women are in in the industry against their will, and men as well)

So I guess what I'm saying is I feel like women fuel their own oppression more than I think they realise. And the same is true for People of color.

[NotKrispy]

I think white people can be more racists than people of color. But this may be because the black population which is made up of less people the the white commits more crime statistically. Though this because the governmental system in the us has oppressed and marginalized blacks so long and so much they new generations of blacks are growing up poor. Their only source of income comes from being in a gang pushing dope. And it's usually good money too. The problem with that is they have to compete with rival gangs. This competition leads to violence. And in the end drugs are illegal. As well as weapons and sex trafficking. So when television always show this group of African americans stuck in a endless cycle of poverty, violence and oppression. They don't make enough money to make better lives for themselves so they keep resorting back to what they know. They don't receive the education they are meant to receive because the schools are underfunded. It becomes harder and hard for them to stay in school as they get older and their friends join gangs because now

[NotKrispy]

"little cuh gotta support his family" and others get strapped up with guns to defend themselves. It's a mess and it's been like this for years. Which is why crime shows depict this world the way they do. They show blacks shooting at cops, Robbing stores, shooting each other, selling drugs. More and more these things instil fear in the kinds of people of color. That right other black people are scared of black people, how crazy is that to say. So of course whites are going to be terrified of blacks too. The problem is when they carry that same fear outside of the hood. That leads to them believing all black people are inherently dangerous or violent. And let's be honest. White people don't even have anything to do with the hood. So in many ways their fear is unfounded. Though it doesn't take away the fact that black people do mug and rape as well but so do white people. Arguably whites show be just as scared of other white as they are of black people.

So I don't know maybe black people are more racist because we are even racist against ourselves. What's more oppressive than insulting some because they are doing well for themselves. Calling each other coons and uncle tom's because they want to stay on the straight and narrow. It's disgusting... So really I don't know.

[NotKrispy]

@Vencam

[Vencam]

Oh wow, seems like I opened up a Pandora's box here ahahah
Jokes aside, I'm glad you took your time to explain it so clearly. You make some good points.
But let me stick with the sexism part of it, since I really lack information about racism especially in the US that has a particularly complicated situation in that regard... I'll just use that as an example in my next lines (which I'll separate from this to not encounter the word cap)

[Vencam]

You say men are generally more sexist (again, talking about the number of individuals) and point how porn can be a part of why that is so. Although I agree with the sentiment I wouldn't point the finger against the porn industry in itself but rather on the lack of sexual culture and education.
To clarify: we all have sexual needs and many don't have the chance to satisfy those needs. Thus they search for release whether that is in masturbation, porn, prostitution or a combination of those and I think that is quite normal.
Thus I don't think taking these away would be healthy for those people even if this does indeed bring some people to believe that what they see in porn/prostitution is an example of how women actually are. But that is no different from people thinking that it's normal to beat your rival in love to death because they saw it in a movie: it's a delusion that comes from how they haven't been educated properly to distinguish between products made for entertainment and those made for information/education/example.
So I strongly disagree with you saying that porn should not sexualize women as that is EXACTLY THE POINT of porn (both for women and men of course). Banning it because people take it as an example for reality, to me, sounds like banning action movies to reduce violence... In both scenarios I believe that the issue lies in education

[Vencam]

Another point on which I disagree with you is with women "lowering their standard" and working in the porn industry or prostitution to make a quick buck.
I don't mean to make light of the issues of black people in the US, but I'd like to make an analogy here.
Just like some black people don't see any other choice then resorting to crime to make some money, some women have the same thoughts when they get into porn or prostitution. They NEED the money, and often don't see another way around. Saying that they are lowering their standard by doing that to me seems akin to saying that black people "lower their standard" and commit crime... They often don't have another choice or they don't think to have one

[Vencam]

So, long story short, in regard to sexism, at least on the few sources of sexism we've mentioned, I'd say that it's wrong to accuse the porn industry for it but rather the education and culture of those that get deranged by it.
But I do think that (outside of porn) there is an exaggerated objectification of women, especially in commercials and movies (both animated and not). In those scenarios their purpose is not to sexualize something and yet they do it to appeal to customers. I find that more misleading rather then someone doing it purposefully to excite sexual desire (which is the actual target of porn and prostitution)
I apologize if I may have not been clear in my exposition, I'm writing this on my phone so it's quite hard to edit the text properly.
Please let me know if any part is unclear, I don't mind discussing the subject some more ^^

[NotKrispy]

(I agree with everything you said except your last box.) Actually because I feel like your last box kind of proves my point on that matter. First and foremost yeah I think education is really important in this whole regard so I bet that is a key reason such oppression is concurrent (is that the right word? I don't know)

I think your comparison is spot on. But as I said black people commiting crime is want adds to their oppression and why others fear them. They do what they have to do to make money yes... But we know stealing and selling drugs is wrong. Even many of the people who do those things know that it's wrong... But they do it anyway because they need the money. Thats them lowering their standards.

Just like with black people stealing, when women engage in prostitution and porn to make money it influence their own oppression and their own perspective. In the end people are judge by what they do. Or what is commonly associated with something. For instance black people are consider thugs by man white people. The same as women are considered as objects of sex by many men. Sad but true reality

[NotKrispy]

Essentially if you are going to excuse women for prostitution and the creation of porn, you should also excuse Black people for their crimes such as Theft and Drug dealing.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

This was really interesting perspective, it's a rare treat to see someone write with such insight on both sides of a debate.

[Vencam]

Oh boy, seems like I missed a notification! My apologies @NotKrispy
Although I don't completely disagree with your last point, I also believe there is a distinction to be made
While theft and drug dealing are crimes (something that negatively impacts whoever is on the receiving end of those actions), pornography and prostitution are SERVICES in which the one providing the service is often a victim of the industry that manages said service
So (and this is just an example, I am not saying things should go this way IRL, just following the examples we gave so far) while we should excuse the crimes, there is no crime to excuse on the women's part, rather they are often on the receiving end of one in those industries, even if they may started participating in good faith and weren't originally forced to (good examples of prostitution and pornstars aren't very common, unfortunately. I'd suggest the "Mia Khalifa" case for one of the more mild cases, where despite going in in good faith and interested in the industry and being quite popular in her appearances, she barely made any money while receiving a very hard backlash in her everyday life)

So I don't think we should keep those women workers accountable for enforcing a stereotype but it would make more sense to point our sight on who employed them and who makes use of their services and pushes for them to be kept going (that is, if one assumes the prostitution and pornography should be banned, an opinion which I do not share. You can see my question on the subject if you're curious about that)...

[Vencam]

To complete the example, while it seems logic to say the same about "black crime" there is still the fact that... It is crime, as harsh as it sounds, so you cannot exemp them for responsability as easily, making it particularly important to distinguish between who acted for survival and who for profit.
Am I making sense? I'm really tired but wanted to answer anyway despite that since I'm 5 days late already, I hope I'm still explaining my point clearly enough

[NotKrispy]

Haha I don't know about insightful but thanks man. 😂

[Vencam]

@SomeGuyCalledTom
I think it's nearly as rare to see someone take his time to read, understand and appreciate these kind of debates, so I'll take the chance to tip my hat to you and thank you for your comment. I'm glad our conversation can be useful to you or others

[Oigit]

We have to stop putting the group ahead of the individual in all aspects of life. Because you can find men that are more or less sexist then any given woman. The same thing can be said about women as well. You are no going to see the true differences in a individuals so long as you are putting a group ahead of individuals. Putting the group before individuals is the quickest way to cause people to operate on assumptions.

Also always remember when you are pointing a finger at someone their are always three fingers pointing back at yourself.

[honeybunSs]

I'm not saying an entire gender is sexist. I'm implying that there are more sexist people in one gender than the other. It's a hard pill to swallow but it's true. Both genders don't have the exact same amount of sexist people.

[soleil7000]

This, entirely - the whole 'talking to the room' - when each relationship, even the sentiment - is always tied to a specific person. The asker is wondering if she is more sexist than some specific man - and asks it as a general question. It really could be 'who is more sexist, me (for this and this) or this guy (for such and such...)'

[G3tAClue]

I hold a job traditionally held by men and I can tell you by my experience that I deal with sexism on a VERY regularly basis. For years, sexual assault and harassment has been brushed away/ kept under wraps, if you will, and essentially ignored. In my job, the only people to report these things to are usually the ones causing the problems and women can’t do anything about it except just accept that they are going to have to deal with sexism at work.


People ask me “why don’t you just quit?” And my answer to that is that I don’t want to get scared away and give up. I deserve a career for the work I do regardless of my gender even if that means I have to work twice as hard to get that recognition.


All in all, I still think that both genders can be equally sexist but traditionally speaking, it has been more acceptable for men to openly be sexist.

[Kaneki05]

I would agree men have been more openly sexist probably a little thanks to Religion. But now religion is not so cultural prevalent as back then. It's kinda started evening out about both been openly sexist.

[JDavid25]

It was actually always more acceptable for women to be sexist.. Men just happen to get noticed for or assume that what they do is "sexist".. Simply because the microscope has always been on men..

[Kaneki05]

Not really, Women couldn't own property due to men, Women couldn't be the ones to divorce due to men, women were seen as witchs guys were not. Pretty sure if you look through history you will find it is way more acceptable for guys to be sexist if a women was sexist she would of been hung for been a witch simple as that.

[JDavid25]

@Kaneki05 Well, women could actually own property but it wasn't that common as you needed money to own land.. In fact it wasn't common for most people men or women to own land.. And I don't know much about the divorce thing, but if a woman were to be a widow she would get everything of her late husbands.. But the husband nor the children got any of the wife posessions.. She got to keep them.. And with the Salem witch trials men and women got accused on dapplin in witchcraft.. And plenty of men were hung for crimes against women.. In fact a woman most likely wouldn't get punished like a man most times for physical crimes.. And sine the husband was considered the head of the family he took responsibility for crimes the wife committed..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 Under the common law legal doctrine known as coverture, a married woman in British North American colonies and later in the United States had hardly any legal existence apart from her husband. Her rights and obligations were subsumed under his. She could not own property, enter into contracts, or earn a salary. More women died for been witchs in Salem as your example only 5 i think were men, the rest were female and across the land it was more widely accepted that women were witches most of the time in fact the men were killed because they were thought to conspire with the witches Aka you probably been a normal who was like huh wait a min this is a bit crazy to kill this women i know and like for no reason Then them been Are your with her blasphemer. Then nvm in more recent history women couldn't vote and why not because guys were been openly sexist about women shouldn't have that right smh.

[Kaneki05]

If it was more openly accepted for women to be sexist we wouldn't have feminists, and we would have some male activists for there rights or something lol

[Mystic_Nova]

It depends on location, but overall, men. Considering that there are more countries women have no rights. And how throughout history, women where treated like slaves and second class citizens because men thought them weak and all that.

Now, it depends on location, in western culture, it's more equal, considering women fought for more rights and all that, and now women have more of a foundation to come for men. And now it's gotten to a point where many women are doing what men did to us years ago.

In other places however, Women are still treated like we all where back in the day and have little control or say in their lifes and women have no hope for changes so they fall in line and make women fall in line to protect them from those who will kill them, if they step out of line.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

I agree with you, but I'm just warning you, there might be a man-baby barrage coming your way lol.

[JacenTheChiss]

From what I have seen in this modern era...

Women.
AND... many of these clearly sexist perspectives are acceptable

^ similarities also exist with the Black and White community. where clear racism from the Black community is just accepted by the Mainstream... while Whites have to watch their statements closely... and even in areas of clear defense can be at a loss
AS I UNDERSTAND... Microaggressions are also taught.. where something doesn't necessarily HAVE to be Racist... and it can be rightfully taken as Racist if the other person wants to believe it as such
same applies to sexism
FACTS (like males being physically stronger than females) can very easily be taken as sexist...
while a woman can literally harass a male and be ignored.. because she's a woman
OR double standards... for example where Male Dominated fields are ridiculed for being sexist and there is demand for more female participation... BUT Female dominated fields are never targeted for the same issue.
THIS also applies to Race as well... where Segregation and Racist policies can be applied to aid minorities (like Affirmative Action) and are viewed as progressive... EVEN if it the costs are great..
while if the opposite were to be practiced.. it would be clear sign of racism

the definitions of Racism and Sexism have even been changed to account for these issues
the point I think is to create no way out... where Men.. and White people.. MUST be considered sexist/racist
You are RACIST/SEXIST.. you are innately developed in that way (which is in itself would be considered racist/sexist if applied in reverse)... AND if you deny it you are RACIST/SEXIST
its very concerning
and I wish more people opened their eyes to have destructive these ideologies can be.

[JacenTheChiss]

^ take into consideration im speaking from largely a Western Perspective

so I am not taking into consideration Asia for example.. where plenty of practices are clearly discriminatory against Women

[Kaneki05]

I see the paradox in this question lol. To say one sex is more sexist is sexist. And also you would be an idiot to say men are more just cause your a women who experiences it from men and same if your saying women just cause your man who experiences it from women. Because of course Men will mostly feel it from women and women will mostly feel it from men. But that's not what this question asked. This questioned asked which gender is more sexist not which one is personally to you based on your gender.

[sandy343244]

I would say about even.

Take the legal system for example, when women abuse men whether a domestic situation (not self defence but the perpetrator) or having sex with a minor women always get a lesser sentence than a man would.

In a divorce women are always given preferential treatment for the kids and are often believed at face value when saying the husband did something bad,

Both genders are sexist its just the current feminism movement does not want women to be equal to men but to be better than men.

Feminism should be saying women and men are equals. Same goes for the trans community, black/white and different cultures and religions. We should all be saying we are the same REGARDLESS of our differences but there are those that have their own agenda.

We should all be fighting back and being wanting equality for all, not picking and choosing equality.

[Anonymous]

Men, I’ve seen so many men say shit like “women are made for sex and cooking” and it’s actually disgusting. The misogyny is unreal. Of course not all men are like that, and there are women who also say things like that. So it’s hard to generalize but overall, I’ve met more sexist men than sexist women.

[Opinion Owner]

Men can dislike it all they want, it’s what I’ve seen. And I’m not generalizing. Quit being petty. If you dislike this, you’re probably one of those men who beat their wives if you could get one

[NotKrispy]

Sexism is like Racism you don't see your own prejudice because it's blocked by the oppression of others.

Don't promote sexism by preaching that all men are thirsty misogynist. Make sure you don't adopt the idea that all men are this or that because that would make you sexist...

[Vencam]

Wow, the first answer I felt like putting a like on. I disagree with you as I've seen as much prejudice from both sides (from my limited experience, that comes from frequenting people moslty below 30), but at least you made a point I think is pretty important: it's about HOW MANY sexist people there are, it's not like the whole gender is like those few individuals

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"Men can dislike it all they want" <-- what's funny actually is women are disliking more when ever a guy claims women are more sexist.

[Opinion Owner]

@NotKrispy Yeah I agree with you, one person does not represent the entire race/gender. I’m just going by my personal experiences and what I’ve seen.

[Opinion Owner]

@Vencam Agreed, thanks for the upvote by the way lol

[Opinion Owner]

@Aiko_E_lara that’s some women, not all of them. My opinion isn’t bashing men specifically so I don’t get why there are downvotes.

[6suejsjsj]

Lol you think that's bad? How cute, read some stuff your fellow women say about men on here.

[Opinion Owner]

@6suejsjsj objectifying the entirety of a gender is bad, and disgusting. It’s not cute how y’all make rape jokes too. Stfu. I’ve never met a woman who’s say anything nearly as bad to men, and if there is, that sucks and I don’t support that but objectifying women isn’t cute. Fuck off

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If you're entitled to give your opinions and we are also. I can say some women are disgusting in my opinion

[Opinion Owner]

@Aiko_E_Lara okay? I never said there weren’t any disgusting sexist women either. Both genders can be sexist. I don't know what your argument is. 🙄

[6suejsjsj]

Funny how you contradict yourself.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Just like i never said men weren't disgusting either. But what i still find the funniest is you complaining about men disliking your comment when majority of the dislikers are basicly women here. Another funny thing is it basically backfired your opinion

[Opinion Owner]

@Aiko_E_Lara LOL I didn’t backfire my opinion at all, if you think I did it’s because you never understood my opinion to begin with. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying. And funny because I haven’t seen many female dislikers

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I understood your just trying to give your opinion so i'm just doing exactly what you're doing but now how do you think do you sound? Well i'm just saying

[Opinion Owner]

@aiko_E_Lara my point is that I never disliked anyone else’s opinions so don’t come complaining about how you see women doing it to me. I don’t have control over what other women do.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And since when was i even complaining? Again i'm just doing exactly what you're doing if you're going to say complaining, wouldn't that make you one? That's what i'm talking about. you are back fired

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

One nuance to add: women can be equally sexist yet their sexism often manifests in different ways. But women such as yourself may not notice this sexist behavior in other women, because you're only looking for the kind of sexism you've historically received from certain men. To give one example, "beta male shaming" is a common sexist behavior enacted by certain women, and is largely tolerated or even laughed about by their female friends. Because women collectively do not label such behaviors as "sexism", they go under the radar, compared to more overtly sexist acts like a man saying "women belong in the kitchen"

[Opinion Owner]

@SomeGuyCalledTom well yes of course women can be sexist as well. I’m just saying I haven’t met many sexist women, doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. And some things just aren’t sexist, but people tend to be overly sensitive. Like when men say women aren’t physically as strong, that’s not sexist, it’s a scientific fact. Most “sexist” things I hear from women aren’t usually aimed directly at men if that makes sense. Regardless, sexism sucks.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Well then, if you say a lot of people tend to be sensitive, that would also mean more women just "think" men are sexist.

[Opinion Owner]

@Aiko literally fuck off, there’s a difference between facts and opinions. Having sexist opinions, makes you sexist. Men being physically stronger or men generally being less emotional IS a proven fact which isn’t sexist towards either gender. “Women should just cook and clean” is an OPINION and it is a sexist one, is my point. I don't know why you insist on arguing for no reason, I wasn’t even talking to you. Bye now

[Aiko_E_Lara]

So why are you now telling me to fuck off when Im also just giving opinions? So let me guess, you're the only one who's entitled to do so around here? If you're not then you fuck off if you can't handle other's opinions too

[Opinion Owner]

@aiko I told you to fuck off because yes you can have your opinions, but you don’t have to direct them at me for no reason. Also you’re replying to MY comment, so you can fuck off if you can’t handle my opinion. Thank you.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Nobody is exactly directing anything to you just like you're not directing anything to anyone so if you're going to accuse me of doing so you would be back fired if i do the same thing again

[6suejsjsj]

Men are definitely not proven to be less emotional. That's nothing more then a stereotype. Women are more encouraged to show it, a bit too much if you ask me.

[Opinion Owner]

@6suejsjsj So sorry emotions upset you, you’re the reason why women are so complicated, you make them wanna suppress what they actually feel, men and women should be able to let out their emotions without being judged thank you very much

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If you're gonna continue assuming anyone is triggered then here are perfect words to describe you What do you call people who always assumes you're triggered? ↗

[Opinion Owner]

@aiko_e_lara ok... bye. I never assumed anyone was triggered lmao

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Ok i'll rephrase them. You're indeed not assuming were triggered. (Sarcasm)

"I never disliked anyone else’s opinions so don’t come "complaining" about how you see women doing it to me."

"I told you to fuck off because yes you can have your opinions, but you don’t have to direct them at me for no reason. Also you’re replying to MY comment, so you can fuck off if you can’t handle my opinion. Thank you."

"So sorry emotions upset you"

Actions speaks louder than words

[90sVibe]

I think it's easier for women to use sex appeal because of how visually stimulated men are. It's proven that men are more attracted to visual stimulation and women are more drawn to an emotional connection. Plus I think that women are able to manipulate their appearance more than men in a sexual manner.

[honeybunSs]

So who's more sexist?

[90sVibe]

I'd say women are.

[triff]

Recognising what works for each gender I wouldn't necessarily say was sexist

[winterfox10]

Women, a billion times women. You know all that girl-power women's lib "owning your sexuality" anti-slut shaming stuff? Literally all that is women reacting to shit that other women have beaten them over the head with.

Men, even chauvinists, basically all realize that women have value (even if that value isn't super dignified). Women on the other hand; holy shit. You have women who hate women. Women who hate men. Women who are rape deniers. Women who think men ought to be superior as a matter of principle, and women who think the opposite.

[JDavid25]

It's an individual thing.. Most people don't have a disdain or prejudice toward the opposite genders.. At least not consciencly... But Mamy people here say it's more acceptable for men to be sexist and I think that's definitely opposite of the truth.. Men have been put under a microscope and spotted doin sexist things whereas women have either been excused or downright applauded for sexist behavior and still here even more..

[HonestlyAnime]

I’ll keep this brief.. it takes a man and woman to build future generations. I respect gay people, and others who choose to live life the way that makes them happy, and yea.. adopting exists, but a man and woman have to make that baby. There is no other way. If men and women keep pointing fingers and picking away at everyone’s feelings, humans as a whole won’t do so well. Get your stuff together. Everyone is sexist in one way or another, not one specific gender. Everyone has their problems. Let’s just respect everyone as people, not based on what gender they are. It’s like racism.

A man is cool if he’s slept with loads of women. Yet a woman is a slag if she’s slept with loads of men!
Ultimately men have slept with less than the number they give. And women have slept with more than the number they give.
It doesn’t matter how many people you have had sex with! What matters is the judgement men have in women and women have on men!
You have a bucket fanny if you slept with 50 men. But you dint if you’ve had one partner and had sex 1000 times! 🙄

I don't think people care unless it's your doctor trying to treat all your stds.

I think guys/men are way more sexist. However, I have watched the awful behaviour feminists have displayed and it’s gaining traction. I don’t view women as sexual objects. I want women to do well in life and make a name for herself as a doctor or lawyer or teacher or architect or whatever. But at the same time I don’t want females to be ripping men and guys down. This does not get mentioned that often but there are women and girls who want to get paid and act like goddesses who should be paid for abusing and humiliating males. That could be slapping them, kicking them in the balls, spitting on him, making him cry; exploiting him for his cash and etc. I understand that’s more of a sexual dimension but I don’t get why women take pride in that, they are not God yet they act like “goddesses” and mistreat men as a dominatrix. That stems from being in control and having authority.

Does strongly depend on location / culture , historically it has been males. However , I have not met a true misogynist , men that are frustrated with women , yes , but no genuine hate. I have personally received real venom and hatred towards me , purely because of the " crime " having a Y chromosome... at one workplace with extreme feminists... showing their true colours , describing men as " cancer and to be wiped out !! " If I said the same , genders reversed... I would be thrown in jail !!

I see more men being sexist than women, though there are women who act sexist towards men, I believe such women have personal problems that they are having trouble dealing with, and they take that frustration out on men, because these days it is easy to get away with bashing men.

[DeviloftheValleys]

as far as i've seen, it's about the same level of pretty rare. our society is built with shitty ends of the stick both ways, but i don't think a lot of people are aware in their day-to-day lives. most people see other people as individuals, not representatives of groups.

although one thing that is interesting is that i hear women complain about women way more than i hear men complain about men.

When it comes to stereotyping the opposite gender (or even one's own gender), whether it's negative or positive stereotypes, both genders are equally guilty of it. But when it comes to blatant, aggressive sexism, men take the cake. Let's be honest here.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Right lol.

[MountAverage]

@EnglishArtsteacher Yep.

[genericname85]

women, cause men at least acknowledge being sexist and women demand them not to be while they are sexist themself.

[honeybunSs]

Acknowledging your sexist doesn't make you anyone any less sexist.

[sandy343244]

Interesting point. Many women want men to take care of them, but when men refuse and cite things being equal... The man is said to be the bad one.. Double standards have to end.

[genericname85]

@sandy343244 no but men already drive down their sexism, cause we live in a matriarchy and women are on the mora high horse right now, while it's completely forbidden to be a manly man. so that's why women are more sexist. cause they don't have to adjust. tey just keep demanding.

[sandy343244]

Oh yes I agree with you on that one. Dare a man be a man and say "I find you hot and want to screw you" that's evil... Just like us guys having an evening drinking, horsing around watching boxing lol

[SummerGreen]

honeybunss, but it does make you more admirable. Even though he would probably hate my guts, I can admire really going against the grain.

[genericname85]

@SummerGreen who would hate your guts? XD

[Vencam]

In my experience, as someone who mingles moslty with people below the age of 30, I think it's about the same. But I think that the proportion of sexist people can change greatly with the age-group

[FR_Ruby]

I think both genders thinking the other gender is more sexist is pretty sexist.

[triff]

Absolutley

[honeybunSs]

How? Both genders don't have the exact same amount of sexist people.

[Agape93]

Men hands down. I’ve only had two women in my life tell me I can’t do certain things because of my gender. Literally everyone else that did, were men.

[Agape93]

Funny how a guy thumbed me down but didn’t have the balls to say why.

[ravagesavage]

Don't worry I just read this and gave you a thumbs down because that's the most logical sexist thing for me to do 👌

[Anonymous]

Definitely men. Grew up being dominated by boys and them telling me I was below than them. Till date some guys have still tried to make me their servants who take care of their house chores and pay their bills! Like hell nope 👎

[Mil00]

Men.

Men created laws, standards etc based on sexes. If you didn't follow or hold the same belief you were shunned, and or killed. Now you have people[both] who are standing up and asking why.
