Sexism, Blatant No Matter How Obscure


You can't be sexist to only one gender. By viewing women as weak, men get burdened by the assumption they have to be strong all the time. By thinking all men are automatic potential , women are perceived as unthinking fragile sex objects.

Sexism is never about privilege, in the end. Everybody loses.

Go ahead men, cry.
March forth women, fly.
You are as weak and as strong as what you believe
you can or cannot achieve.

Me cry? Why?
Women fly? Bye.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm neither weak nor strong.
Hope you can see
I'm just me.

I think this quote would be a good reply to your post:

a result of patriarchy.
Nancy R. Smith said it well:

“FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS TIRED OF ACTING WEAK WHEN SHE KNOWS SHE IS STRONG, THERE IS A MAN WHO IS TIRED OF APPEARING STRONG WHEN HE FEELS VULNERABLE.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS TIRED OF ACTING DUMB, THERE IS A MAN WHO IS BURDENED WITH THE CONSTANT EXPECTATION OF “KNOWING EVERYTHING.”
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS TIRED OF BEING CALLED “AN EMOTIONAL FEMALE,” THERE IS A MAN WHO IS DENIED THE RIGHT TO WEEP AND TO BE GENTLE.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS CALLED UNFEMININE WHEN SHE COMPETES, THERE IS A MAN FOR WHOM COMPETITION IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE HIS MASCULINITY.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS TIRED OF BEING A SEX OBJECT, THERE IS A MAN WHO MUST WORRY ABOUT HIS POTENCY.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO FEELS “TIED DOWN” BY HER CHILDREN, THERE IS A MAN WHO IS DENIED THE FULL PLEASURES OF SHARED PARENTHOOD.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO IS DENIED MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT OR EQUAL PAY, THERE IS A MAN WHO MUST BEAR FULL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO WAS NOT TAUGHT THE INTRICACIES OF AN AUTOMOBILE, THERE IS A MAN WHO WAS NOT TAUGHT THE SATISFACTIONS OF COOKING.
FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO TAKES A STEP TOWARD HER OWN LIBERATION, THERE IS A MAN WHO FINDS THE WAY TO FREEDOM HAS BEEN MADE A LITTLE EASIER.”
