There is an assault on both genders. Men are expected to be less manly and more girly. Woman are turning into men. If you can't see that, then you are probably living in a rural environment.

There are so many examples.

1. Men are automatically assumed to be sexual predators until proven innocent. (ex. If an adult women talks to a kid that's not hers, no one really freaks out but when an adult male talks to a kid that's not his, most people will assume he's a child predator).

2. No strong empathize on fatherhood(especially in the Black community).

3. Men aren't given equal treatment when it comes to criminal law, divorce cases, and the military.

4. Media/politics spreading propaganda of a "war on women" that doesn't even exist.

5. Men are collectively viewed as being robots incapable of feeling emotions therefore can not be emotionally damaged. Women can say almost anything they want to a male and society expects the guy to just take it but if a male verbally upsets a female, he will be instantly vilified or seen as a bad guy.

6. Always a strong emphasis on female issues rather than male issues. Even the most popular American sport(NFL football) puts a stronger emphasis on female health concerns such as breast cancer, despite that fact that the overwhelming majority of its fans are male.
Oh geez, another whiny (probably white) man thread.....

There are many anti-males but they are far from the majority. Feminists just don't realize that we're not going to stop being masculine and we don't really pay much attention to unattractive women.

Using the banner of equal rights when it's actually creating a anti-male culture.
Do you want reparations on account of your sex too willy?

I think the schools favor females over males with the way they teach and I believe it's becasue most teachrs are female and don't really understand boys the way they understand girls. In college, it evens out somewhat as you are graded more on what you know than your penmenship and ability to make pretty reports. In the workforce, women have the immediate advantage after college as who doesn't want to her a 22 yo female. However, after by mid-30's, the men even out and start to break away from women in the workforce due to the glass ceiling and women not interested in sorking super long hours to get the next promotion.

Legally, the bigest disadvantage is in cases of divorce, the woman usually gets custody and is set up financialy if the man is a good supporter.

Race and gender are two completely different issues.

Emasculated men are passive men.

The powers that be do not want assertive men to rise up and challenge them.

Assertiveness has carried me very far in life; it's a powerful tool. No wonder it's use is verboten.
