Reverse sexism.
Yes, it exists.
sex·ism
noun1.attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.2.discrimination or devaluation based on a person’s sex, as in restricted job opportunities; especially, such discrimination directed against women.By claiming that men as a whole are to blame for rape, or that men cannot be feminists, you are being sexist. Sexism does not only encompass women, and it does not only hurt women.#mid1 { border-top: 1px solid rgb(228, 228, 228); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(228, 228, 228); padding-bottom: 8px; padding-top: 8px; }
If you have to say “reverse”, you’re already admitting to an institutionalized system that benefits men over women, i.e. the institutionalized misogyny that makes sexism against men not a thing. Men might face discrimination, but sexism is institutionalized. The fact that people feel the need to say “reverse” to describe sex or gender-based discrimination against men in the first place reveals the actuality of the oppressive force.
So no, “reverse sexism” is not actually a thing. Although with the notion of “reverse sexism”, you demonstrated quite clearly that ciscentrism is a thing. So congrats, I guess.
