All the op has to do, is prove that the gap between the two genders has been closed, pertaining to the statistics below, to make a case for what they are spouting. Should be easy, right?

http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men.
http://www.batteredmen.com/NISVS.htm Despite this though,99.3% of DV shelter spaces are for women and even men who report violence against them by women are arrested far more often than the woman who is attacking them.
Government Sponsored Sexism
1) Real sexism is almost no shelters for male victims of domestic violence.
2) Real sexism is men getting harsher punishments for the same crime.
3) Real sexism is countries with compulsorily military service for men.
4) Real sexism, courts that take children from fathers based on gender.
5) Men cannot even vote or get citizenship without enrolling for the draft.

7) Male infant circumcision/genital mutilation is legal and performed widely and even completely socially accepted but female genital mutilation is not.
8) A young boy raped by a woman can be forced to pay child support to his rapist if she gets pregnant, that’s real sexism.
9) Many countries do not even recognize female on male rape. It can maximally only amount to “sexual assault” that’s real sexism.
10) Real sexism is having no special laws like VAWA to protect men, even though men are the majority of victims of violent crime.

14) For the same crime, irrespective of the gender of the offender, the perpetrator gets more punishment if the victim is female rather than male.
15) 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. Social sexism against men
16) Real sexism is being mocked when raped because you’re a man.
17) Men are expected to not show emotion and remain stoic at all times.
18) Victim blaming is acceptable ONLY when men are the victims and women the perpetrator. This is real sexism.
