People especially women would say that women are the more discriminated sex but I disagree with them. I believe even thoug the workforce favors men over women the law favors women over men because they are seen as weaker. I can give many examples of this point. #1 issue women can run for president, voluntarily serve in the army, get financial aid and benefits yet only men are required to sign up for selective service. Another issue is the law and society tends to be lenient. After Debra Lafave was convicted of statutory rape in Florida she was not given jail time also she was able to do an interview special on Dateline with an American public who was not as outraged had it been a man with the same charge. Also society puts pressure on men not to report it if a woman slap or touches them below the belt but for women its is more ok. And last but not least people forget that divorce and child custody gives woman an advantage in court.
