Do men experience discrimination?

Question

How and Why?

Answer 1

Yes.  Are you talking about gender discrimination?  Or any sort of discrimination, like racial?  We receive both.

Why?  Because some people are prejudiced.  They either have hate in their heart, or ignorance, or some combination.  People want to believe they can predict their world.  Its a consequence of evolution and a true sign of intellect, to form prejudice.  Because prejudices are based on extrapolation of pattern, be it statistics or rumor or history or memory... we know a stereotype, a theory, and we apply it.  Its science.  Unfortunately, it often puts people at an unfair advantage or disadvantage, and sometimes can lead to violence.  Prejudice is smart, as long as its recognized for what it is.

White men have a harder time getting promoted or hired in todays world, when there is a black man or woman who is of equal or lesser qualifications in competition.  White men are less likely to have or be qualified for a scholarship.  We have higher insurance rates (even though women have the stigma of being worse drivers).  A guy cant hang out at a park or playground during the day or a parking lot after hours, or following twenty feet behind a woman at 3 am down a city street... without some one getting scared about his intentions.  Men are the pigs, the pervs... but the presumption to that end always emerges from the parents or womans mind first (unless the guy really is).  Men all have the same standard in s*x appeal in women... thats why some women are arrogant when they think they are attractive to one, they are to all... why they compare themselves to celebrities and other women, and get plastic surgery, wear makeup and jewelry, to sexually objectify themselves to adhere to a specific standard (because men are the superficial ones?)... and women think that just because a guy wants to know her that he is interested in more than platonic friendship.

Answer 2

They experience it here on G&WS every day from self-appointed feminist censors.

Answer 3

Why because on group benefits from it.

In this definition - at the expense of another.

There are a lot of individual whys I can put here based on individual areas - and the above is all I can come up with, as a basic description. To address them all individually I end up including descriptions of those that applied pressuire on others, actively lobbied for or gathered the supposed statistical evidence that is used to shape policies others create.

It gets ugly from there on in.

Answer 4

i know white men do

Answer 5

yes - but we're supposed to take it - LIKE A MAN!

Answer 6

or - consider this:  black people live shorter lives than white people.  although some factors cannot be helped - a genetic propensity for stroke, for example - it cannot be denied there are sociological components to that fat.  men live 10% shorter than women, but we're told thats just the way it is.

for example, compare the mortality rates of prostate cancer to breast cancer, and then compare the relative research funding for each.  i think you'll find the results surprising.  or consider that heart disease strikes men an average of ten years before it becomes a serious problem for women - decimating the ranks of men 50+.  Yet most awareness campaigns focus on going red for women's heart disease.  strange, isn't it?

or - go to your local family court and compare a custody hearing to a child support hearing.  

i think you'll see some dicrimination

Answer 7

I would answer this question but i fear reprisal

Answer 8

Of course they do.  Your question it's self is discrimination.

Answer 9

Yes from Divorce court and at work.  I've worked with mostly all women in an office (and other position.)  Many of the women were sexist.  Another time I won a scholarship for a two year college.  I was told it was given to a woman instead of me.    

Why do we experience discrimination?  Because

humans, including women, have faults.  And one of them is to discriminate against others.

Answer 10

Yes, car insurance and from femanists who think all men are jerks

Answer 11

We most certainly do experience gender discrimination. I work in a profession that is predominantly female. These are very intelligent, self-sufficient females who often have a gender-based chip on their shoulders. Although I am also highly intelligent and self-sufficient, it is clear that many of these women think that just because I am a man I am juvenile, disorganized and boorish. As far as I know gender discrimination has never prevented me from getting a job or recieving a fair salary, but I am always aware that my female counterparts view me as inferior just because I'm not one of them. Just in case you are wondering, I am a highly respected and educated member of my profession, so I am not just some guy who isn't very good at my job.

Answer 12

Hehe, heck yeah we do.  Point in case Corporation A has a racial / sexual gender quota it is obligated too.  Thus white men whom most often have more education than others, it is a fact... OK so, Corporation A has to higher 2 White Males, 2 Black Males, 2 White Women, and 2 Black Women.  Say 60 white men applied for the job, 60 Black Men, 6 White Women and 6 Black Women.  Numbers are exaggerated yes.... just roll with it.  Well the job is for security guard.

So that being stated off first Males in general are stronger, I SAID GENERAL please keep going with it.  So myself being the hiring official would be limited to my staffing capabilities.  I have to higher women even though the men are more capable of being physically able to do the job... and the white males had most of the education but I can only higher 2 of them, and the black guys are super buff, because in GENERAL black men seem to have a natural buff physique.  <spelling on that word>  I would be pissed I have to higher women.. :(  unless there happened to be a woman whom I thought could handle the physical demands of the job.  Wrestling a 220 lb guy to the ground.  

OK hope you get the point and yes it is discrimination and LEGAL AT THAT :(  Glad I have a good job and good luck to you guys out there

Answer 13

Do women risk getting arrested and jailed by their husbands for no reason? No, but men in many countries face this problem because of discriminatory domestic violence laws. See Section 4 here for details: http://www.freewebs.com/feminism-evaluat...

Answer 14

when it comes to custody of kid yes.

Answer 15

Try getting custody of your kids.  You'll answer both questions.

Answer 16

Yes, this is nothing work related, but being a single father of a daughter I find it hard for my daughter to have sleepovers at my house, or even taking them somewhere with my daughter to the park or somewhere. Even mothers who know me pretty well shy away from it. The couple mothers who know me extremely well have no problem with it. But all these friends sleep over at each others house and there is no issue with the other single mothers homes.

Answer 17

we experience more discrimination than women,for example: in work,men are not allowed to do any job that has to do with people because to the world "we are all evil" another example is: if you are a man you can't have your kids, there is the racial discrimination that men expirience that women don't. If you're a black man,arab,latino or asian, everyone thinks of you as a criminals.
