Multiple times in the workplace I have heard from pickmes how men deal with sexism too lmao. They are the same ones who never care about women’s welfare.
For example: a bakery job I had a while ago, someone broke in and my female boss asked my male coworker to step in. Then APOLOGIZED to him after the intruder left saying she didn’t mean to be sexist by asking him as man to help protect. Lmao???
Another example at work: Some scrote was complaining that the bosses were hiring mainly men to do the shipping as it involves heavy lifting. Pickme chick starts agreeing that its “sooOoO sExIsT”
Makes my blood boil because we live in a patriarchy. Same kind of bullshit when white people claim they can deal with racism too when white supremac/racism is systematic. Misogyny IS systematic as well.
Even pointing that men have the testosterone to work longer and harder than us leaves them screeching?? these really are the same people who don’t bat an eye when a woman is being sexually harassed or expected to mother a grown ass man.
I won’t hesitate to call out the next pickme
You mean like men who start to work in daycares complaining that their female coworkers keep a close eye on them when they change the diapers of little kids or help them dress or wash in the beginning? Sexism, right?
Or men who want to be "midwives" or "doulas" or "lactation consultants" or ob/gyns crying "sexism" when women request a woman instead of them?
Whenever I hear someone complain that men do more physically demanding jobs and deem it sexist, I have to laugh. I genuinely think its funny because you cannot be serious. How is making the stronger person doing the more physically demanding job not make the most sense for society? Do you make your children carry your furniture too when you move? Make your dog carry your groceries? You dont because its insane. This is the rule, whoever is stronger helps the weaker.
I also will definitely not feel pitty for the people who throw "equal rights, equal fights" at me specifically because they are stronger. Men will bully you for being "weak" and in the same breath tell you its sexist that they have to do the heavy lifting. If you are a physically weak man just say that and leave, no need for this bizarre argument.
Also, women do physical labor. Most of the time unpaid. Ever cleaned a house? Watched kids for a couple hours? That shit is DIFFICULT!!
Men complaining about sexism against them has the same energy as white people in the West complaining about racism against them by black or brown people. Injustice can certainly exist but sexism and racism are systemic issues that these men are not a victim of. The usual example I see men give is military service and the draft, as if that's some gotcha. No, actually, I don't believe in the draft, but even if I did, who is instigating these wars since time immemorial? WHO is DRAFTING WHOM? It ain't women. And acting like women (and children) aren't victims of mass rape and murder in war? Every dude who makes this argument can fuck right off.
I definitely agree that both racism and misogyny are both systematic issues and this is coming from a white woman. It’s sad that women and men can’t acknowledge that sexism doesn’t exist for men. That must’ve been so frustrating to hear those grown men be babied
"Men deal with sexism too" If we all do our part we can make this misandrist dream a reality 😍 Your example about men working in shipping though: in the past I've applied for shipping and recieving jobs in stores, only to be interviewed for floor/customer service positions. Because they only hired men for shipping/recieving, because of misogynist assumptions about a woman's physical capabilities. As if you need a great deal of strength and also a penis to operate a box cutter or a pallet jack. I applied for the shipping/recieving jobs because I work well with coworkers doing physical tasks, but I'm terrible working with the public as I'm not a "people person" nor an extrovert. In other words - I know myself and I belong in the back, not the front, of the store. But the misogynists who hired me refused to believe that a woman might not fit the stereotype of a cheerful, helpful sles associate who is too dainty to carry boxes around. This happened to me twice. And joke's on them - I sucked at those sales associate jobs just like I knew I would!
