Men are not exploited or oppressed by sexism, but there are ways in which they suffer as a result of it.

Sexism, also known as gender discrimination or sex discrimination, is defined as prejudice or discrimination based on sex; or conditions or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex.

Men are oppressed by sexism. There's no "less" or "more" oppression than women; both sexes simply are oppressed by gender roles.

Men are wallets and labor, nothing more. Should a man aspire for control of his own productivity, there's something wrong with him. It's "mysoginist" for some reason.

Men are criminals and pedophiles until proven otherwise, and even then it's only as long as nobody accuses them of anything. Accusation is guilt.

This is the typical "men cause patriarchy but patriarchy hurts men, too." If there were a patriarchy built by men and it hurt men as badly as it seems to, why would men allow it to continue to exist?

And if the feminist response is "because only powerful men can do that," I would respond, "powerful women do that as well." If they want to go that route, that's a class struggle, not a gender one.

But then attacking those powerful groups is probably not a very good way to secure power or privileges for your group, so men make an easier scapegoat.

I was about to downvote you for trolling before I read your post, when I read your title.

I often envy the humanities. In that community you can say almost anything and it's just as right as anything else it seems.

Oh and by "envy" I mean "loathe", and by "humanities" I mean post modernism.

“Women are the primary agents maintaining and supporting child abuse and infanticide, they can only be eradicated if women are compelled to assume responsibility for transforming their consciousness and the consciousness of society as a whole.”

Checkmate feminists.

"But feminism supports both men and women!"

/facepalm

Remember, sexism is power + prejudice, in this case, power is having a Y chromosome, and a lack of power is not having one.

Blah blah patriarchy, blah blah kyriarchy, blah blah benevolent sexism.

Masculinity bad, "wrong" femininity bad, androgyny good.

That's gender studies in a nut shell.

Pseudoscience.

Yep, she's full of shit, but then most of them are. The title of the book is rather interesting. From margin to center? More like from the lunatic fringe to the mainstream.
