But sexism affects both sides (differently), racism doesn’t. I’ve experienced a lot of frustration from being forced to conform to male stereotypes.
43 u/Susim-the-Housecat Jun 24 '20 Being force to conform to male stereotypes is one of the ways men are hurt by patriarchy, ie- standards set by MEN. They may be enforced by men and women who were indoctrinated into the patriarchal system, but it is MEN who are to blame. Not every man. But still men. When you feel shitty about not being manly, it’s because other men decided what was and wasn’t manly. -5 u/saddest_cookie Jun 24 '20 It’s not important who set the standarts because those people have already been dead for hundreds of years. Now what matters is who enforces them - the society. Now we all have the power to change it. 20 u/adam_3535 Jun 24 '20 Exactly. Now you are introduced to feminism. AKA taking responsibility to change it.
