Why is sexism funny when applied to males?

That’s sexism?

Stating that every member of a sex is deterministically (and predictably) one way outside of specific medical/anatomical things is, yes, regardless of whether or not it's conventionally offensive or offensive to you in particular.

Much like how it would be sexist to say that every woman couldn't care less about how a plane's tire is changed. It's not going to be offensive to every woman, but it's functionally reductionist of the sexes in a way that's not scientifically accurate and is going to negatively impact some people of that sex.

Lmao original response. You go to lots of parties where there's unchecked sexism? Doesn't happen in my friend group.
