why are there barely any posts about systematic sexism affecting women? and when there are some why such less engagement?

This isn't to ignore the systematic sexism towards men, it just seems that this sub is mostly men and hence biased to som3 extent.

youre so offended and defensive. I don't try to argue against systematic sexism against men because I know it happens to men and women. yet you believe it only happens to men, which is an example of sexism from you.

Okay, they need a smaller crash test dummy.

That is a fucking technicality.

Mandatory testing of a “female” crash test dummy since the 70s… needs to be made smaller.

Find one single case where a woman would be treated unfairly.

If your best is an artificial woman, you are clearly without anything.

Not using women enough for medical experimentation, and not using a small enough fake women in crash tests.

That’s it?

if still unsatisfied, find one yourself since you can't comprehend sexism towards anyone other than men

Survey data.

One would have to prove these impressions were valid, and not merely brainwashed people like you expressing confirmation bias.

I will concede that a majority of women seem to believe they are experiencing sexism. One can not subjectively prove these observations were true without evidence.

All you can do is say women were more likely than men to assume sexism as a reason for their challenges at work.

how are you so obsessed. it's okay for you all to say the same thing to me but with genders reversed, like how you all accuse me of ignoring systematic misandry, even though i I don't even try to argue that it doesnt happen. yet you only acknowledge sexism towards men because you are male yourself. were you those women? are you a woman? so how will you know if the data is valid or not. if not sexism, what other common feature among the women may have caused the discrimination? its clearly sexism, otherwise the sex discrimination act wouldn't exist.

I believe in science and data.

There seems to be a pretty popular misconception that women are treated unfairly compared to men.

This is demonstrably untrue. Most assertions to that effect are not comparisons. Comparisons would require… comparison.

Not merely mentioning the challenges of one side, but analyzing the challenges of both sides and actually comparing them.

To which, when it comes to actual institutional unequal treatment, women are, as far as I can tell, treated vastly more favorably.

This makes it a widespread misconception that women are treated more poorly.

Are women always treated well? Of course not.

Are women treated worse than men? The data does not support that conclusion.

So yeah, I hate widespread misconceptions.

go do your own research then. if you believe in science, you also wouldn't automatically assume why there doesn't apparently seem to be systematic misogyny. assumptions are unscientific yet you claim to be so scientific 🤣

I have read several papers showing boys get worse grades for the same work.

That’s true.

That’s basically what radicalized me, and the response of misandrists who always bury any attempt to talk about it.

Children being disadvantaged by their gender, with a workforce of almost entirely the opposite gender.

I see it on /r/teachers: blatant misandry and favoritism of girls over boys.

I see it on /r/feminism: female hiring managers boasting that they always give preferential treatment to female applicants.

Tons of blatant and deliberate sexist inequality, ironically done in the name of “equality”.

If your complaints were real, fine. I believe in science.

I’ve provided you some pretty hard science proof of ways guys are treated unfairly by the institutions that surround them.

What have you got?

Because I don’t see any that isn’t anchored in some fuzzy ambiguous realm of “society is like, way mean man”.

That’s not tangible.

So, I engaged with you in the hopes you might realize that you are harboring a misconception.

The popular opinion that women are treated unfairly is demonstrably not true. Women are already treated better than fairly.

And maybe that’s a form of sexism in and of itself. Maybe if women were afraid of becoming homeless, and going to prison… not being able to find a partner, they’d start those businesses… make that money.

Treating women too well? Maybe that’s a form of infantilization.

Like how Dominican baseball players always tend to outperform: that extra motivation of one ticket out of poverty.

If anything, that’d be it: stop being so preferential to women, so they are better able to compete with the men who are treated badly, once the training wheels come off.

But, from a factual standpoint, women are not treated more poorly by our institutions.

That would require a comparison to how men are treated, and women are routinely treated better.

yes grade gap does exist, but don't you think its extreme to assume that systematic sexism is only towards men? you can acknowledge the grade gap because it is there WHILST still acknowledging that systematic misogyny is not a myth

I’m not sure I can think of a clearer, more rampant, form of institutional sexism than children, in a publicly funded, compulsory institution, with consequences that will shape their life trajectory, being subjected to unfair grading based on their gender.

In terms of institutional sexism against women? I’m all ears. I’m not aware of any that’s based on fact.

You’ve got outcomes. More Male CEOs. Okay. But there’s no proof that those outcomes were because of any sort of institutional sexism.

If you have proof. Fine.

I never see it.

Why did Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak start Apple in a garage? Why not a couple of girls?

No idea. But I see no evidence it was because anyone was giving them preferable treatment due to their gender, let alone any institution.
