There are many industries which women don't participate in equally as men. My sister was a cage fighter and worked in many male dominated areas such as automotive and now law. There are barriers and sexist treatment on many levels for women like her, women working in the traditional boy's clubs.
There must be a "war on men" then as well as the same is true in regards to industries or situations that are traditionally female. I've experienced it first hand. I'm an executive assistant which to the outside world, and even some internally, is viewed as nothing more than a glorified secretary. We have conferences where all the various admin officers (which I am for my office) get together each year where I get strange looks from the various females because I'm one of one or two other males in the room. Every friendly email that goes out generally gets addressed as if its a female audience. And it continues on. Why? Because I'm in a position that traditionally you see more women in and people are conditioned to act a certain way. The Difference seemingly between you and I is I'm not apt to go all victim mentality and scream about how unfair it is that people dare to be generally conditioned to expect what is most common place to happen and have a rather normal human reaction when viewing something uncommon and therefore strange.
Women are not equally involved in government. Look at the way Palin and Hillary were treated in 2008.
Absolutely. However this isn't the law, its society. And Palin and Hillary werne't just treated that way by males either but largely by females. Double standards
ABSOLUTELY exist in society. Without question. Is that sexism? Hard to say.
Is it sexist that a woman expects me to pay for dinner on our date?
Is it sexist that a female could have a homosexual escapade in our society and turn it into a way to become more popular or even a celebrity, but for a man it's a subject of embrassment and ridicule (look at politics for this later part as well if you want to go the political route)?
Is it sexist that society believes that a man should treat a woman differently than a man in regards to altercations, either verbal or physical?
Is it sexist that various businesses provides benefits to females but not to males, or even are abjectly allowed to deny male patronage?
If you want to go 2008 politics, was it sexist that there were numerous governos with arguably a far better track record than Palin's that was passed over seemingly because of the fact they were male and she was female? Was it sexist in either case when voteres were suggesting one of the prime reasons they were voting for either candidate (primary for hillary, regular for Palin) because it was a female?
Unquestionably there are double standards in society. However, that's a far cry from a "war on women" in regards to the law, and the double standards exist throughout the realm of sex, race, class, personality, etc.
Hell, look at yourself as you proclaim to tell us that men can't possibly understand what it is that a female goes through in regards to sexism while you sit here and act like you know what the **** we think, we feel, or we as some hive mind of our sex do. The same ridiculous logic on your part, that somehow becuase we don't share the one singular trait with you that we have absolutely NO way of understanding at all what occurs, applies back to yourself in regards to your take on men and their actions.
Just because women have equal rights, it doesn't mean we are all on equal footing.
No one is on equal footing.
