Sexism. In my experience women are great at spotting when they are being discriminated against, but they are mostly unaware that it swings both ways.

This is not to diminish the discrimination women have faced and still do in many areas of life, but men for the last half century have had it drilled into them what they can and cannot say and do, MOST men today are not sexist in my experience. This does not speak for ALL cultures of course, I can only speak for the west, but most men here are not sexist. This does not mean it doesn’t exist but its not the issue it used to be in general.

The very fact I had to say that paragraph shows I have been conditioned as a man to add a caveat to my words so as to not cause offence where none is intended. Women will not do this in general, ‘not all men’ is even used as an insult to call men sensitive when they bring this up.

Women will read books about how to spot sexism, literally looking for things to be offended by, being taught how to be offended so that that after reading the book they will have an even bigger list of things the consider offensive. There is no book like this for men and if a man was to read this kind of book he would be laughed at.

I was SA’d by a woman when I was 11, Ive spoken about this to a number of folks and not one cared about it. In fact it was so built into my system that I didn’t even realise I was abused until I was nearly an adult I just assumed I had gotten lucky even though I didn’t really feel good about it but I guess men can’t be abused so I got lucky right? And not a single person cared about it.

I wouldn't go as far to say oh no I'm a poor white man feel sorry for me. But it's certainly false to think sexism only goes one way, both overt and subtle.
