Sexism against Males & Sexism against Females have a Common Root

Because even sexism against men is sexism against women, somehow, apparently.

Also- we can change what we find attractive because it’s not millions of years of evolution, but social constructs that make women attracted to strong men. Give me a break.

Feminists repeatedly oppose gender equality on men’s issues. This idea that it’s actually sexism against women- or our concerns about sexism are centred around getting laid- shows an ignorance, solipsism and entitlement that makes it almost a parody of itself.

This image is posted here regularly, and it has been critiqued repeatedly.

This image argues that sexism against males is based in sexism against females - a hatred of the feminine. This is just the softer variant of Patriarchy Theory. The cartoon is arguing that "patriarchy hurts men too."

Here's the problem: if it were true that sexism against males was based in an hatred of the feminine, then gender-deviant women would be considered the most attractive women of all! Instead, the average man prefers very feminine women. Additionally, femme lesbians are less discriminated against than butch lesbians. If society hated femininity, then society wouldn't idealize femininity in women.

Society hates femininity when present in men but praises it when present in women.

Well, that's one perspective, but it's rather simplistic and incomplete.

Having more compassion for women than men would not normally be thought of as sexism against women, but somehow that is what it is called when men are thought of as weak.

There seems to be a deficit in compassion for men and a surplus for women, but it would be ridiculous to suggest solving this by treating women more like men and ignoring their problems.

All discrimination has a common root: Hate

This is not anything new; the concept or the image. This image has been posted here many times.
