About the advertising the sexism is much deeper than just depiction of helpness. 1) We are often depicted as idiots. 2) We are shown as selfish and self centred. 3) If we don't a particular standard we are degraded or told we are npt real men. 4) We are sexualised in many ways and it is not even recognised. Women sexualise men through role playing and stories. Men are shown in ways which play to womens desires. It just as demeaning as men sexualing women just in a different, in the end its the same result but just accepted by society. 6) We are shown to be quick to anger. 7) Irresponsible. 8) Cheap. Other ways in which society is sexist to men. 1) Violence against men by women. 2) Guilty by acusation without proof. 3) In relationships if anything goes wrong it always assumed the men did wrong. 4) Family courts. 5) The acceptance of sexist remarks by women. "we are all the same," "just like a man," "he will cheat," "#killallmen," "all men are rapist" and i could go on and on. Society condemns any man for a sexist comment but women apparent can say anything against or about men and suffer no consequences. 6) When a man commits a vile crime like paedophilla is rightly demonised. As he should be and is correctly hated. However, women are given excuses and are basically given a pass again allowed to commit such vile acts. 7) Controlling your parenter if man does this is demonised. However, if a woman does it socially acceptable. Women often controll who men talk to, when they go out and in many other ways, 8) Domestic violence women again are socially allowed to physically assualt men but if a man does it again demonised. 9) Manipulating the people around them usiomg emotional blackmail. 10) Women are the worst critics of other women, However, this again is acceptable if a man does it he is judged and mocked.

Men in childcare are not just seen as "less masculine",they're seen as rapists and paedophiles. Just like everywhere else.

It's true. Allowing men to be more free (and less tied to masculine dogma) is an important aspect of feminism that is often overlooked. Great piece!

Every man I have met does fit the stereotype so now that I have a son I am teaching him to be well rounded and know how to take care of himself by doing everything I have taught my daughters. Some lucky person will be blessed to have him in their lives someday. :)

This would be a relevant argument if we lived in an equal society. However as it stands, women are paid less than men, constantly subject to harassment and are judged negatively for exhibiting behaviours that would be applauded in men. Should we manage to create a society in which this article is an actual issue, we will have come a long way.

Add number 8: "insensitivity". Article talks about some sexist ways, and many people only talk about feminism and/or who has it worse, women or men. Good job ladies!

What this article fails to highlight is that sexism is maintained through various institutions that legitimize discrimination and oppression. Which with the exception of the first example of careers, none of the examples given by the author fit this criteria. Even saying that women are sexist towards men with their career choices is a weak argument when one realizes that most of the jobs deemed "women's work" were created as such because of the lack of careers for women during the second and first waves of feminism. So if men are excluded from occupations it's often because of the patriarchal system, and not the fault of women.

I agree that we also stereotype men but in a much less harmful way than we do women. In reference to number 1, I don't think this is particularly unfair to men seeing as most other careers (particularly high paying, management style ones) are seen as best fulfilled by men and not women. It's good to look at the argument from both sides and be open mined but we have to remember that in terms of sexism and stereotyping women get the brunt of it and it often comes in much more serious forms for women, I think we should still keep focus on what feminism is aiming to do, making the world a fairies and SAFER place for women.
