Men seem to be treated like the scum of the earth these days. Apparently we beat our women, abuse our children, cheat, lie and make wars. I feel a bit picked on!
Here's one for you: I went to my local gym and there's a special area specifically designated 'women only'! A few years ago this would have been called apartheid - but not in the modern world. Oh No. Women pay EXACTLY the same amount as men, but men don't get a special area allocated to them in gyms. Everyone seems too scared to be pissed off and say something politically incorrect. Well I love women, but hate all this crappy favouritism. Women don't need it and we shouldn't patronise them by giving it to them. Phew. That was cathartic. Gimme other examples that piss you off.

Women get the kids after any breakup. It's like a worldwide law or something.
They also (in my experience) pay less for child support (exponentially less, in my case), and child support is hesitant to go after them and make them pay, where they have no problem at all with throwing a man in jail for the same thing.
I knew one guy whose employer decided to pay out the child support monthly, instead of weekly. Except that they didn't tell anyone. So, when the state didn't get their check, they threw him in jail for non-payment of child support. He didn't show up for work that week, and was fired. Child Support got their check, and released him. He went to work, and they wouldn't take his excuse that he was in jail, so he was out of a job. Two weeks later... right back to jail, for not paying child support.

Err! I'd like to point out that apartheid is actually the separation of people along racial lines not according to sex.
Let's also forget the centuries of men getting a better deal in many areas including :-
Voting rights
Ownership of property
No of wives (and other assorted women)
Financial - not just wages, but loans, mortgages and just deals in shops.
Men even pay less for clothing and footwear for goodness sake!
Poor you having to give up some space at the gym just so (for instance) some women may feel a little happier attending without having to possibly face the odd man who is more interested in ogling than working out.
Phew! I feel better now!
Thanks :)x

Hey man, we have breasts. They flop. And guys stare at them when we're on the treadmill or when they're getting squished when we're on a tricep machine. It's not that we're better or that it's favouratism, it's just a safe place to work out without feeling visually molested. If you've noticed, men don't stare at men. Women don't stare at women. Women sometimes stare at men, but it's non-threatening. But men stare at women a whole heck of a lot, and it's often predatorial. Which is why we like to work out in a safe place.

Women wouldn't need a special section if they could exercise without being gawked at! This is the very reason there are so many "women only" gyms popping up everywhere.

I actually put a question on earlier in a similar vein, why do insurance companies offer better rates for women drivers, when the rate should be based on ability to drive, driving convictions, experience, type of vehicle, value ....... just about anything except whether you are a woman or not !

the local pub does 'ladies night' with free glasses of wine for women.
They NEVER do 'lads night' with free pints of beer for men.
Pure sexism in action.
