Antisexism

114 readers

This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.

Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.

Rules:

1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)

Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.

2. Be civil and listen before you speak

The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.

3. Respect personal experiences

All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.

4. Everyone is welcome!

Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

What exactly? Dispensability of males? It is indeed common in the animal world, though not universal; besides, we don't struggle to survive as a species, and culturally evolved to be humane.

imho the "humane" part is mostly propaganda to hide the insane atrocities of our time. there is way more (hu)man-made misery than in earlier times

Earlier times featured slavery, neverending wars everywhere, and a lot of other sources of completely man-made misery.

Now we got to understand all lives matter, sudden deaths of people are perceived as a big tragedy, yet men are still less grieved upon.
