Sexism towards Men

THE REAL MONEY GAP

• Men earn 61.5% of all income but only account for 25% of


domestic spending. Men only spend 40% of what they
earn after tax. In contrast women make up 38.5% of all
income but control 75% of domestic spending, women on
average spend 90% MORE MONEY THAN THEY EARN. Men
are exploited as cash machines and even with spending on
children accounted for women still spend more money on
themselves than the combined spending for men and
children. This can even be observed in the floor space
allocated to women's products in most shopping centers.
TAX & HEALTHCARE DISCRIMINATION
• Men pay over 70% of income tax but the vast
majority of public spending is on services for
women. There is more money spent on breast
cancer than lung cancer and prostate cancer
combined despite the fact that lung cancer alone
has 3-4 times more fatalities than breast cancer. A
man's chance of getting cancer is 44% and 23% of
men will die from cancer, 38% of women get cancer
and 19% die. Yet there is vastly more money spent
on cancer for women, this is lethal discrimination.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
• There are hundreds of surveys which shows
women are as violent if not more violent than
men in domestic violence cases. Men get
arrested in 85% of all arrests but its estimated
that Women are the perpetrators in most
Domestic Violence cases
Gynocentric Sexism

• Men are trained to suppress emotions and always be


considerate of a woman's feelings, men are trained to
sacrifice, work and die to provide for women's
happiness.
• Men and women are trained to always take the
woman's side over a man. Women are taught to
support each other and view men's pain and suffering
as less important. Men are taught that fighting, dying
and sacrificing themselves is noble but women
experiencing any emotional distress is terrible.
Government Sponsored Sexism

• Almost no shelters for male victims of


domestic violence.
• Men getting harsher punishments for the
same crime.
• Countries with compulsorily military service
for men.
• Courts that takes children from fathers based
on gender (in many cultures)
Con…
• Numerous government departments dealing
with women's issues but none dealing with
men's issues.
• Many countries do not even recognize female
on male rape. It can maximally only amount to
“sexual assault”.
• No special laws protect men, even though
men are the also of victims of violent crime.
Con…
• In the army, police, fire service or any other position
women have to meet much lower physical standards than
men.
• Services for men only given a fraction of the funds that
services for women are given at a government and a social
level.
• Most divorce laws are skewed against men, men can lose
half his properly, money and children to a woman who
decides to leave him. He is expected to pay for this
betrayal, especially if he has already provided for and
supported her, this is real sexism (in many cultures)
Social sexism against men

• Being mocked when raped because you're a man.


• Real sexism is having your gender stereotyped by society as
being violent, abusers, etc.
• Men’s lives are given less value in any emergency situation.
• Male children are often given harsher punishments by
teachers for the same level of mischief as girls.
• Young boys are given less care and attention by parents than
girls and beaten over twice as often as girls by parents.
• Violence against men by women is much more socially
acceptable.
Con…
• Men do not have the privilege of showing affection to each other in public as
women without people questioning their sexuality.
• Men are expected to ask women out, pay for dates, decide on the venue – if she
rejects him he is often labeled creepy or needy.
• If a man slaps a woman, he is an abuser and a monster, If a woman slaps a man,
“he must have done something to annoy her”
• When a man breaks up with a woman, he is called a “jerk”. When a woman
dumps a man, “he must have failed her somehow”
• Men are excluded from many positions such as babysitters, etc.
• Our culture and media makes the assumption of men as guilty, violent offenders
where as women are given special treatment at every turn.
• In movies and TV violence against men is glorified but violence against women is
regarded as especially horrific. Many news reports will read the number of people
killed and then highlight women and children as more tragic than male death.
Con…
• Children bestow more love upon their stay-at-
home moms than their sole-providing dads
(this comes with the territory of his being
away from the family for the longest period of
time, multiple times). Husbands report, the
few that do, that they feel as if they’re
providing for a family that no longer loves
them quite the way they used to.
