This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.

Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.

Rules:

1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)

Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.

2. Be civil and listen before you speak

The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.

3. Respect personal experiences

All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.

4. Everyone is welcome!

Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

US women continue to spend more time caring for children, and there is no clear change of trend in the last decade (www.usnews.com)

Women still spend more time caring for children compared to men, as evident from the US survey carried out between 2011 and 2021.

Interestingly, while levels of employment affected child care time for both men and women, for men the effect was less pronounced.

One other interesting finding is that the difference between men and women is minimal when both work full-time, suggesting a more equal distribution of duties due to lack of available time.

Men absolutely are held to a higher standard.

With reasonable exceptions (grooming, manipulation, etc), relationships are a choice. Simply do not partner with a man that does not respect women as an equal.

If the man is trash, leave them and do not start a family with them. It’s that simple.

Aside from grooming, manipulation etc. there are also such things as general trends and societal pressures.

As men are, on average, caring less of their children, women have harder time finding male partners that would do enough of it, and it gets normalized. As it does so, society starts to see women who want an equal partner in terms of child care as too picky and unrealistic, and indeed, it might be hard to find a partner that fits this criteria along with other ones any person has.

It's important to remember that finding a good partner is hard for everyone.
