UK newspaper www.guardian.co.uk is asking men to speak about sexism, doesn't believe that men are discriminated against but is asking for men to contact them about sexism.

This isn't at all about sexism against men. They are asking men to make confessions:

we want male Comment is free readers to tell us about how they talk about women when there aren't any around. If sexist comments are made, do you challenge them? Or do you think Gray and Keys are unrepresentative of men's attitudes to women, in your experience? Perhaps you feel that this kind of sexism in private doesn't really harm anyone, and is just letting off steam? Maybe you agree with Conservative MP Dominic Raab that men are getting a "raw deal" in many areas of life?

My response:

Thank you for a rather sexist article, which assumes that only women face sexism. You've made Dominic Raab's point with your misandric views on life.

I see you've forgotten that men experience sexism in the workplace every day. Yet all you care about is the sexism women experience.

"Perhaps you feel that this kind of sexism in private doesn't really harm anyone, and is just letting off steam? Maybe you agree with Conservative MP Dominic Raab that men are getting a 'raw deal' in many areas of life?"

And so you try to paint anyone who believes sexism against men is wrong as someone who believes that sexism against women is okay.

Now you see why men have been waiting for a man like Dominic Raab to finally take their side. We are tired of being marginalized by hateful people like you.

I suggest we respond overwhelmingly with decriptions of misandry in the workplace since they seem to have forgotten that sexism goes both ways.

You're wasting an opportunity for activism.
