One can see all these arguments how women are being discriminated, creating an invisible comparison against the perfect standard.

i.e. Research shows that 30% of women have been discriminated at work for reasons of gender. The immediate conclusion is "sexism at workplace". And of course, all members of the opposite gender are being immediately treated as perpetrators, who are at least silent partners of the gendered discrimination that is taking place.

But there is rarely a comparison with a male population to create a baseline (and even if it were, men would need to be trained first about the definitions of abuse).

What if this research would produce a result that 30% of men have also been discriminated at work for reasons of gender? (passed for a promotion due to DEI, being given more physically demanding tasks, being riddled with fake accusations, being treated more harshly - because they don't burst up crying?). In this case, the research conclusion would be: "shitty place to work" instead of "sexist workplace".

Every human out there is being... objectified, sexualized, discriminated, mocked, bullied. Yes, it can of course become gendered, but there is no perfect existence, therefore any kind of hardship is not immediate evidence of sexism.

Trying to treat one of those problems on the basis of sexism (e.g. bullying in schools), creates a disenfranchised cohort, instead of more egalitarian environment.
