We all know that men are the majority of those who die at work, but I wanted to give my own personal account of labor disparity, at least in my country of Kenya. If you are a female MRA you can tell me if you've experienced the same thing.

My country women aren't seen as inferior but males are still asked to do more difficult work than females. For example, when I was in school, the teachers would always ask the boys to carry their furniture and books for them, despite the fact that boys and girls at that age are similar in strength levels. In my family, they would always ask the male servants to carry heavy things and furniture, even though they aren't extremely heavy and the female servants could carry them too.

I've never seen a female driver, and when ever there is a male driver, and I have travelled somewhere with him, he will carry my luggage/groceries without me even asking. One day, I heard my father saying "The only tension a woman should experience is the heat from the gas stove"

On international men's days with was on the 19th, I printed out a large number of posters and I wanted to go poster posting, but my boyfriend stopped me and he said "I don't want my princess doing that sort of work, and it's also not safe, make someone else do it"

Here, there are a large number of housewives/stay at home mums especially among the middle class and upper class women. Their husbands do a lot of work until their hair was turned white or fallen out while a lot of these housewives don't have too much, so they watch TV, sleep, etc. Unfortunately, this means that a lower percentage of women work outside the home so people consider Kenyan women 'oppressed' and we rank low on gender equality indexes.

I was unable to find statistics of men dying at work, but one source showed that only 11% of police officers are female in Kenya, of course the author thinks that this means women are 'oppressed' https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2012/9/kenya-moves-to-increase-women-in-its-police-force-and-improve-their-work-environments

Whenever me and my boyfriend go to the mall, there is a male and female guard to check us. The female guards check the female visitors, and the same for male guards and male visitors. But after a certain hour, the female guard goes home and women are allowed to go in unchecked, but the male guard is still there, so men are checked. My boyfriend mentioned that if I had been a terrorist, it would have been easy to go in just because I'm a woman.

I view this as misandry because if you heard a person say "only women should be cooking" you would say that is misogyny but if you say only men should do hard, dangerous work, then it is misandry.

Any other female MRAs who have heard this? How is it in your country?
