MEN have been sexist against MEN. WOMEN against WOMEN too
6 years ago
I'm serious. I mean I hear all this stuff about men being sexist against women and vice versa feminists/femanazi being an example of the latter.
But no one seems to mention men being sexist against men or women being sexist against women even though it HAPPENS.
For example MALE (as well as some female) authorities have chosen to make only MEN eligible for the draft in the U.S., given harsher penalties for equivalent crimes to men as opposed to women, have made it so women tend to unfairly win custody battles, men aren't take seriously if violated by a woman, and tons of other shit.
I don't get why this isn't brought up I mean it's always just "Men oppress women!" or "Women oppress men!" but I don't hear very much about same sex oppression. Another example would be if a male politician is against gay marriage then he is discriminant against men by not allowing them to marry each other. Similarly if a female politician is against gay marriage then she is discriminant against women by not allowing them to marry each other.
In order to reduce sexism it has to be acknowledged when the same sex does it to the same sex rather than just the opposite sex!

Anyways if you want gender equality/fairness a sexist based philosophy isn't the way to go about it. I mean feminism is sexist since it's geared towards women. It's in the name FEMINism. It's female themed so it can't possibly be about equality if the guys aren't part of that theme too.
Since it's geared towards women you aren't gonna hear a whole lot if anything about guys being treated unfairly or same sex sexism. It's just about "Man be mean to woman gender-wise."
As one person on Youtube put it "If feminism were about equality it'd be called the "Gender Equality" movement which makes sense.
Sorry for the late reply I just didn't know what to say right away.
I think people should just give up discrimination altogether, it isn't right or even practical.
