I know I shouldn't let what ignorant idiots on the internet say ruin my day and affect me so much, but it's so painfully stupid when people will say men can't experience sexism or it doesn't affect them on a systemic level (the favorite S-word of misandrists everywhere). Sexism goes both ways and affects both men and women, and it's wrong either way, but there are absolutely examples of systemic sexism affecting men. It's by no means a small or insignificant list, either. The blatantly anti-male bias in schools and courts is a glaring example along with the fact men always have to register for the draft and face legal consequences if failing to do so. Then the fact that any violence against men (especially by women) is always recorded as being against women due to the VAWA and the subject of VAM is always an intentionally ignored and neglected subject. Very few to new abuse shelters that help male victims, male victims of rape and trafficking always ignored (especally when by women offenders) and the deeply-ingrained "women and children" rhetoric which makes it that male lives don't matter. And you also have the "believe women" rhetoric which complete destroys due process and ignores the fact false accusations exist and has made it that much harder for genuine victims of both genders to come forward; which itself is another example of how sexism rebounds both ways.
There's tons of ignored systemic sexism against men and boys but as always misandrists ignore it or claim it's not a major issue. I know I shouldn't let these morons and their painful ignorance and stupidity affect me this much, but to think there's this many damn people who genuinely believe this and spread it as factual.
