Agreed, like someone who is black can be the only true speaker of what it means to be black, a man cannot experience what daily life is like for a woman and how we are treated.

It is rare for a woman to escape daily sexism. The worst part is when OTHER women call being sexually harassed, "being called pretty" and participate in demeaning women who don't like it.

Don't worry, it's very clear from the link in the post and your subsequent comments the question is rhetorical and you're not suggesting that sexism towards women is overblown

@Jnei I've seen some boarderline anti women post and comments on this site. But so far, none of those members want to start a conversation with this question. But the day is young.

Can you elaborate?

@Akfishlady it was kinda hard to hit "like" on that comment.

@Akfishlady Makes you wonder how often employers manage to keep it quiet, doesn't it?

@JeffB I was wishing we had a "I hear ya" button - "like" definitely isn't quite the right reaction here!

Actually, women tend to be the aggressor more often against spouses and children per a CDC study. Also if you include prison rape, men are 30% more likely to be raped than women. Also the wage gap is a myth, if it weren't i would only hire women. You can't own people here legally. Women tend to hold the power over men in relationships for a myriad of reasons. Dismissing the reality of inequality agaist men is not a strong foundation for the third wave secist feminist movement. This is just the United States that I'm referring to.

@jayneonacobb I would like to see specific sources for the data you present. I don't think including the incarcerated in an assessment of domestic violence against men is valid. People in jail/prison have been removed from general society and are not representative of overall social behavior. Data has shown the persistence of the male/female wage gap for years. Can you tell me what the "third wave secist feminist revolution" is? It sounds like a nonsense term that Rush Limbaugh would create to inflame anger in the male population.

@citronella look it up, fbi.gov cdc.gov I'm not doing the research you should have done before forming an opinion.

@citronella I'm not going to type my reply because @Citronella has put it better than I ever could.

Is that why he's your ex?

Over 20 years divorced.

Good thing he's your ex. Strong and intelligent women turn my crank. It's why I married the babe I call my wife, so not ALL men are knuckle-walkers.

People mislead with numbers.

@Rhetoric perhaps, but the numbers themselves do not lie. People are much better at misleading with words.

@Rhetoric not as much as people mislead people by making up numbers. And numbers are usually hard data supported by actual hard data. Just google for census data of pay gaps.

In both AUS and UK, there is hard data that support the claim women are paid less than men. In AUS, the data was sourced from the last census. In the UK, the data was sourced from the new law that requires employers to record and submit pay wages data. I posted these links before in another comment that debated whether the pay gap was an illusion. I know they exist.

Does the US have similar data?
