"Everything, really."

21. Sexual harassment.

“Sexual harassment.”

22. Sexual assault.

“Sexual assault. Seriously. It sickens me how many people make jokes about women who men who get harassed. If a drunk girl grabs a guy’s junk it’s hot. When a guy does it it’s assault. It fucking sickens me.”

23. Playing dumb to avoid consequences.

“Playing dumb to avoid consequences. I’ve found that over the years if I screw something up or do something that isn’t allowed, playing naïve and dumb to a man in a position of authority (typically older men) often gets me off scot-free. (It’s a main reason I prefer to have a male boss…. lol)”

24. Crime.

“Assault, Blackmail, Fraud, Statutory Rape … basically anything that would go through the court system that would send men to prison, women will get probation or less.”

25. Everything, really.

“Pretty well anything.
• Demanding access to jobs that require specific types of physical capabilities to do effectively, such that rules have to be pretzeled and safety severely compromised (firefighter, cop, marine, etc.)
• Ignoring high-paying but dirty jobs (oil rig worker, sanitation worker, etc.) in favour of cushy office work. Corollary: demanding gender quotas in cushy office jobs but being absolutely silent on the dirty, hard jobs.
• Preferential treatment as students via gynocentric teaching techniques, to the point where boys are becoming severely disadvantaged at all educational levels.
• Assumed victim status in all domestic violence incidents (the Duluth model) despite real-world evidence showing a near-50/50 split between male and female perpetrators.
• Access to shelters that are for their gender only.
• Access to shelters that also accept children under their care.
• Battered spouse recovery services.
• Not being automatically assumed to be a pedophile around children.
• Initiation of nearly three-quarters of all divorces because of “unhappiness” and “dissatisfaction” in the relationship (hint: most male-initiated divorces typically occur only when things become truly untenable).
• Assumption of “primary parental figure”.
• Winner of custody in nearly four-fifths of all cases, despite robust career and ex-spouse interest in the children.
• Recipient of child support in nearly all cases of custody, despite robust career and ex-spouse interest in the children.
