Yes,
-homosexual men can't donor blood in germany
-women can't get sterilization under their 40s without kids in germany
-abortion is not allowed in some western countries
-corruption within sexwork industry in Europe
Many foreign women get manipulated/lied/deceived and they end up being sex-workers in germany and if they go back to their home country they will end up bein homeless, or starved or porn directors aproach minors and wait for them till they become 18 and they also approach young, naive, depressive women with mental issues since they are more likely to do this for example.
- low age of consent in Europe which make 30 something men get 14-16 years old girls
-violence in labour ward by nurses/doctors to the point 30% of women in a city in austria (my country) want to give birth at home for example
-Anal rape is legal in switzerland
-america has many states where child marriage is legal but the child can't divorce his/her spouse
- marriage laws that discriminate men in america/in some european countries
-courts are biased against men when it comes to divorce in america
-high suicide among men in western countries and high suicide attempts by women and higher rate of mental issues among women. The topic about mental issues of women are also used by conservative people to push their agenda and women's mental issues are not taken serious by many guys on GaG (eg.) People literally make fun of western women for having mental issues and these women are seen as crazy modern women aka leftovers
- i am not going to mention the situation of women in middleeastern/Asian since it is obvious
-men are forced to join armed forces in many countries
-circumcision of babyboys in many countries although i am not sure about this since people do it because of religion and i dont want to hurt anyone's religious feelings and many men told me they dont have a problem with it
-abortion clinics get attacked and abortion get strictly restricted in america. for example you only can abort in the first month and it is difficult to realize that you are pregnant in the first month
Some guys's replies also scared me. Their only problem is not cat-calling and not harrassing women and complain how they can't do that. Would you like it when gay men cat-call/harrass you out nowhere when you are busy on the streets (in the night). When people are busy, then they dont want to approached. Common sense. Is it that difficult for you to approach women in libraries, parks, clubs, bars instead of harrassing. It has nothing to do with your looks. You can look up foreign women gettig harrassed by handsome japanese men on youtube. These women literally cried.
Why should religion matter for baby boy circumcisions? The baby is not religious, the same thing is forced on him either way.
I agree but i get called racist
So i was afraid of it.
It is common among muslims and jews sofar i know
That doesn't make you racist. Anyone calling that racist is a moron.
I was called many times racist when I critizised religious practices. Since then i try to be careful and to not offend anyone. I dont want to deal with anyone anymore. I am tired. Thank you for your replies
I like how two sexist men downvoted. 😂 ... victim mentality they have
Sadly we like to pretend that it has gotten better but the actuality of it is that , gender inequality is still a major challenge on local, national and global levels. Not only does it affect the lives of individual men and women, but the inequality between genders also stunts economic growth and hinders development
It also has a significant impact on mental and physical health worldwide. It can limit peoples access to healthcare, increase rates of ill health, and lower life expectancy. While it is true that women live longer than men on average, they experience higher rates of ill health during their lifetimes.
Of course, biggest difference you'll see is who is at a disadvantage depending on what part of the world you're in though. Also some things that appear to be an advantage short term are disadvantageous long term.
Women have more power than men in the west, especially young women who are attractive. It does create a situation where those young women have more opportunities to make more money when they are younger than men do, but have no earning power when their looks are gone.
Men don't have that option, so even in a shit career, sticking with it, our earning power increases as we age, even if the goal is appealing to men or women through looks. There are many male models who have a career at 40, 50, or even later if you look at Fabio as an example. That option does not exist for women, though it appears as an advantage when young that will cripple you if it's depended on as you grow older.
If the genders are only male and female, then the answer is yes. Now if you're trying to include homosexuals, lesbians, trannys, etc then yes there will be discrimination. How are you going to try to switch up what was once known as only Male and Female. There is no in between.

Things have just gotten infinitely more confusing.
For example. Women complain about being catcalled and approached/harassed by undesirable men. Decent men listen to this and are more conscientious about their behavior. But single decent men are paradoxically being told that they need to be “assertive, confident and dominate” in dating.
So we see an attractive woman in public and we want to approach her (as we are used expected to). But we are nervous about looking “creepy”. So either we don’t approach or if we do we act real weak sauce and too nice.
The reality all comes down to if the woman finds us attractive or not. This is imposible for the vast majority of guys to know off the bat. It would be nice if more women can just understand the position men are in with this. We are not mind readers.
I think there has been some blowback on metoo in last year or two. But still the damage was done with asinine “movement”. Just like most liberal movements it starts off genuine and quickly devolved into insanity (Kavanaugh hearings)
What these feminists don’t realize is scumbags will keep on being scumbags no matter how much they march, complain and bitch. Only empathetic men listen to their grievances and those weren’t usually doing much wrong to begin with. All that crap ultimately did was is instill unnecessary paranoia and maybe took out a handful of scumbags (Weinstein who had it coming anyway)
It exists but is much less prevalent as I remember 50+ years ago when women were still expected to remain at home as the doting housewife and men were expected to assume 100% of financial and other responsibilities. Back then men were expected to take care of their women and women were expected to obey their husbands. But I saw the cracks in that system as a child when I noted that both my mother and her mother were the heads of their respective households regardless of the fact that their husbands earned all the money (my mother ended up going to work eventually).
It is most definitely still a thing. Just ask any woman who has tried to get her tubes tied. Look at Muslim women. They are hudgly discriminated against for wearing a scarf. People still point to what rape victims were wearing despite it being scientifically proven that it has little to no effect. In the medicine women are more likely to be ignored when complaining about pain. Women were, and often still are, excluded from medical studies. Meaning a large portion of doctors don't know how to treat women.
And this is not even getting into the social discrimination of women being shamed for sexuality or standing up for themselves. Also being ignored in academic settings... I could go on.
yes, we do currently have a strong discrimination against men and in favor of women. and this discrimination harms both men and women as well as the entire society in the long term.
but that's just my unpopular opinion as a social scientist... people tend to not wanna hear about logic, reason and facts, if they don't make them feel warm and fuzzy inside.
It is still persistent. Discrimination is part of being human and animal, so we can tell and identify differences from others. Children are honest in that aspect, they can openly express it, and not only related with gender.
We could turn every human a neutral gender or take out all the genders and turn everyone into one simple gender, but humans will always find a way to make discriminations.
It´s still there, for example in the medicine business. If you do research on a illness that´s most likely to infect more males than females than it´s more likely to get funded than an illness that´s just infecting females.
On the other hand if you look for a female that´s good at cooking you´re a sexist, if a female rejects a guy because he´s not good at handling mechanical problems, it´s not a big deal. (Happened to me and friends of mine)
Of course it persists, in all directions. Problem is incels and edgelords scum keep blabbing on and on about the micro-social advantages of women, whereas feminazi filth and such self-victimizing sjw wastes of oxygen keep bitching about rape culture and wage gaps. Now you see, neither side is plain "wrong", yet neither does anything remotely useful to their respective "causes". Both sides need to recognize their advantages and the other side's hardships, and strive towards a more constructive cooperation. And if anyone feels I've raped them with this comment, or that I'm a "cuck" for treating women with respect, well then fuck your parents for creating such garbage and go kill yourself to rid us of your stupidity :)
As an American woman, I can't think of anything we have a disadvantage against men in (besides physical related stuff like sports obviously). The only real challenge for women is abortion laws that some politicians are restricting and that is super shitty, but men don't really have any rights in that area either. This is just an American perspective though, the middle east and other areas are different of course.
Depends on the environment tbh, assuming you mean in western culture (UK) here. Work not so much, daily life no..
However clubs, catcalling in the streets and especially gym is another story
Legally speaking in the US, it's almost completely gone with one of the only notable exceptions being how for example women are currently exempt from the selective service system. Beyond that, it's going to come down to cultural values more than anything else; individual thoughts and opinions developed through their own experiences that no amount of campaigning will ever eradicate.
UK here. It's still hard for guy to get a job in a women's clothes shop. That's about the extent of it though. Hell we had a woman PM a couple of years back. The fact that she was totally useless shouldn't reflect badly on women as a species, the guy we have now is even worse.

Depends where you live in the world/ which country, it’s astounding how people generalise their country and the way they treat people to be indicative of what life is like for everyone in that country all around the world.
I think it’s persistent but in a different way. Example would be respecting pronouns, discussion of transgender rights, gender salary/pay gaps, etc.
In other words the discrimination is very much still there but the talk is different.
If anything, I have reasons to feel generally discriminated as a man:
Divorce law injustices, the basic assumption that I'm a potential rapist or child molester, etc.
But then: this modern woke shit is nothing I personally take for serious. It's:
present day's ''entertainment''.
If anyone ever tells you women where discriminated against. Remember women have always been a protected species in the west. And I never heard of any men calling out kill all women. But I have heard modern feminist say it. Who gave women rights? Men.
Who gave the the vote? Men.
Calling women a species and admitting men had to give women rights... but yeah women aren't discriminated against
1. If we live in a world were men decide who gets rights and when I think it's safe to call that a patriarchy
2. I don't think you know what a figure of speech is
It does a cousin of mine was put in charge of hiring (not saying where) and he was advised to hire men over women as the employer had concerns about pregnancy leave and I kinda get where they were coming from
It does still persistent, especially when we are talking about "pretty" girls, they either get a ton of free praise, moral support and benefits in general or they are getting trashed by random people literally for nothing
Unfortunately, sexism and gender discrimination is still persistent in society, in many aspects of daily life
Discrimination for what exactly?
Have you bought into the feminist claim that all peoples are the same and equal? Cuz they're not, never have been and never will be.
@MudRucker - exactly. Men and women are simply not the same. Neither one needs to whine about discrimination. PERIOD
Asker has not been clear about who is being discriminated against for what.
I see a lot of it. Female only candidates can realy piss me off. Positive discrimination doesn't exist. Discrimination is always negative. Psychopatic feminists getting their way is horrible for mankind...
Does gender discrimination still exist in a variety of domains within society? Yes.
Has it gotten better? Over the years, yes it has
It does exist because all work is always focused on one gender while males side just get worse each year.
In Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, it's women who are discriminated. in the U. S. A., the U. K., and Australia, you can't tell a woman what's appropriate, but you can tell a man. So... bad for both genders, depending on where you live.
Of it's still a problem in many ways but has gotten a lot better over the years
Discrimination on looks exists. It'more prevalent.
Ever see an ugly barmaid?
Sure , and I wished older people would just stand TF up and quit lying about the atrocities of this dark ass world out there and admit the truth. Its always been a thing since the dawn of time and its never been different even till now.
Only men can be conscripted for war , only men are allowed to be circumcised at birth , shelters for men are almost non existent. Divorce and family courts will rob a man of everything and so on
Biology is like history in this aspect; you can learn from it or be ruled by it.
Yes!
Society excepts men bashing (misandry)
But 10% of that towards women? You’d be attacked on, called out on, hated and even jailed!
I genuinely believe it’s been a non issue for at least 20 years in america
Of course, duh. Especially in my culture
"women are expected to marry extremely young and not go to college and get educated" Oh yeah? and yet the majority of college students happen to be female. Last time I checked is that in today's society, a careerwoman is highly encouraged while a stayathome woman is discouraged. Way to try to spread your misinformation. Sorry sweetheart, but you're not able to fool all of us here.
@TruthBringer dude, if you’re not Haitian than you definitely don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m talking about cultural standards and that doesn’t include everyone
And I'm talking from society's point of view in the US. The very country you claim to be living in that is.
@TruthBringer the US has many other cultures, it’s a melting pot? I’m Haitian so I’m talking about Haitian culture that I was raised with even though I’m not from Haiti myself my parent and grandparents are all from their so I’m still apart of that culture in a way
@Djaay women should be encouraged to get an education because statistically they’re safer and better off that way because than if they end up in a toxic relationship or marriage they won’t be stuck staying with that person because they’ll have the means to financially support themselves.
Not to mention a child born to a mother that can read is 50 percent more likely to live past the age of five, education for women is important for their health and well being.

This site has a list of statistics and information.
This is true especially since marital abuse has risen during covid
I understand your point. But this spectrum of division between men , women and marriage..., the greviace therefore especially with feminist , ist about equality or fairness. Furthermore , when you actually ask those women of past times about theryre main disputive measures against most of they're husbands , the sortum and lspeculative motive changes from good to attrociaous and has nothing to do with uneducated married women. After all , 1920 is when feminist really took ground breaking measures in a different song and dance.
If there were more cultures like yours that discriminate against women in education, then we would see very different statistics when it comes to education for women.
@TruthBringer dude.. I sent statistics? What are you even talking about
@Djaay actual feminism is about liberation, not equality. Liberal feminism that lacks intersectionality is the feminism that wants equality.
I would explain more but it’s not really relevant much to what I mean, I’m just saying women aren’t treated as good as men in my country and that’s not really something people that haven’t been in my country and lived their for themselves can talk about without the perspective

Your own country that is a mix of many cultures happens to have more female than men in college. Although certain cultures discriminate between the genders, the bigger picture remains in the stats as shown.
Yes, but it is men, not women, who face gender discrimination.
There has never been any form of discrimination based on gender until the feminism came in and men are now being discriminated against only because they are males.
🤯🙄🧐
Politically incorrect.. right? Liberals don’t like hear that.
Because of #MeToo becoming toxic, now working with women is a risk
That will never go away. As long as preferences exist.
Sure it exists. Buttttt rightfully so. There are obvious differences between men and women.
You can see it in certain areas.
3/4 suicide in the US are male, and men get gaslit about it all the time from feminists. It's gotten way worse for men, because of feminism.
I truly believe that there is no one is discriminated more than white, heterosexual man these days.
I think discrimination is still rife, but is glossed over.
It has declined hugely since the 60's.
Find 5 moms who will hire a male babysitter
It's literally everywhere you look.
It's not as prevalent as some people think.
Yes it is still persistent
I think it's worse tbh.
Maybe still even though, but worse
It has changed. Men are discriminated against.
no matter what it will always be around
It still exists.
It has changed.
