Antisexism

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.

Dang that's crazy.

I hate this is almost 10 years old (from 2017)

Really seems like something that should be studied more often if it's not already.

Slavery is a complicated field to study, for obvious reasons, so the data is often sparse. But I wholeheartedly agree.

I hate this species. It's 2026 and we still have to read such maddening headlines.

Did you ever consider this crazy idea, that we as a species are developing backwards from holy half-gods to primitive aliens to this wonderful planet?

Daily...We know so much in these days but what do we do with it? More greed, more egocentrism, more....well, you know :-( But there's a good reason I'm misanthropist. Not because i hate people per se, but it's hard to find decent people amongst the sea of ignorance.
