When men are called sluts and whores for sleeping with women.
When men are legislated about what they are allowed and not allowed to do with their penis
When men are paid less, just for being a man
When men are chastised as a slut because they wear a low cut shirt
When men are told that they need their wife's permission to run for political office
When men are told that their medical coverage will hinge on their Boss's religious beliefs
When men are used in sexual positions to sell anything from oatmeal to yachts
When men are judged by their looks alone if they are worthy of something
When men are told to just smile, they are so much prettier when they smile
When men are stopped on the street by women telling them that they have a great ass
When men are groped in stores
when men are.......

Then I will answer that question.

I will say this though. If men experienced were truly oppressed they would have a real men's rights organization. Not what they have now - a public forum to dehumanize and justify discrimination against women. No what they are fighting for is justification in their rights to be able to call women whores, to legally discriminate against, and more.

The sad thing is, there's so much in feminist thought that could potentially "liberate" men as well nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #12
