Misandry: Your experiences!

I've experience the occasional inequity.

There were a lot fewer scholarships available to me in school as compared to my female colleagues. Whenever I worked at jobs, I would be the default heavy lifter. The bottom performers through primary/secondary school in my classes were always boys. When I had a baby there were tons of programs and resources available to support my wife, but none for me. I've had sex in college while both parties were inebriated, and there's no statute of limitations on sexual assault, but I've despite that I've never had any issues with the law.

Any blatant misandry? No. Never personally experienced it.

I sell online so that people occasionally come to get the thing from my apartment. Very soon I learned that women don't feel comfortable with the arrangement and they ask if we could meet out on the street. Nowadays I sell women's stuff using my wife's name. It sells better that way, too.

I'm pretty sure also that when I was younger and not married renting a flat in a good neighborhood was impossible for single men and I had to live in bad neighborhoods. Then again it's impossible to prove.

I once worked along with a girl I had know for a couple of years at the university. I had a car and she didn't. Nevertheless she refused to ride with me at first. After a few bus trips she regretted and approved me as her chauffeur. I never raped her! /s

God, really? I can't list all of them. Or even most of them. I'll just pick one that happened recently.

I was at a house party, 4 guys and 3 women. At some point we get the munchies, and naturally, it's the guys job to go to the store. It's minor but it pissed me off, so I point it out and ask why. The usual shit.

Soon enough I realize it's utterly pointless trying to argue with a sexist woman, and that the other two women are going to keep their mouths shut so long as it benefits them, so me and one other guy haggle til we get to take a spliff or two with us.

We embezzled some of the money, and I fucked up their order. It was a good day.

Roommate (female) was reading a Jezebel article on the word "pussy" and how it suggests that men think weakness is associated with femininity.

I said, "Just so you know, that's not what men are thinking when they use the word that way."

She says, "Well, of course you'd say that—you're a man!" Followed by laughter, joined in by another female roommate.

The sexism was so obvious, I got too furious to remain in the room, so I just left. Roommate moved out (for other reasons) several months later. We were good friends until that night. I became cold to her after that, and I think it genuinely confused her. We don't speak anymore.

I'm 16, Canadian, and currently in summer school. (exam today, on a short break)

a bunch of us were talking about things and a teacher talked about how seeing all these women in physics is amazing, but this isn't the story, I just thought I'd say how 3 boys dropped out and 10 girls (31 to 18 students)

girls were talking about how fight like a man was one of the most oppressive things they've ever heard, and I asked why, because it also kind of means that men always fight, which isn't a good thing. it was a question to raise thought of both sides of the statement.

now only a couple people are willing to talk to me, because I'm the most sex ist thing in the world.

not quite only happened because I'm a guy, but I really don't see why the hell this happened
