I think the thread makes a very good point. The current issue with sexism is most/all sexism is towards men.
Well I applaud those employers who let women work longer hours in order to earn the same as their male colleagues, that's proper equality.
Women in their 20s earn around 2% more than men of the same age for the same work. This is a stat from the ONS.
The pay gap only comes about after this age because women have babies and prioritise family over career.

I suspect that's because there are more female graduates than male these days, and they tend to work harder at uni too.
Q. Do gull time women earn less than full time men in the same jobs
A. No
Females do better in GCSEs and A-levels but this is understandable because their biological maturity is around 18 months to 2 years ahead of males, this means they are likely to get better grades to go on to Uni. Would we expect women to run as fast or throw as hard as males in PE? No. Do we expect boys at 16 and 18 to achieve the same grades in exams as girls. Yes? Biology works against boys in feminised education.
Females do earn more than males in their 20s.
The view that men earn 18% more is a total myth, listen to Christine Sommers to understand this but the formula is very simple:
Q. Why do men earn around 18% more than women as a total figure?
A. Because they work on average more hours

A. No
Reverse sexism in advertising has long been a bit of a bug bear with me.
Can you imagine the sh!tstorm it would create if an advert came on tv where a bunch of young men in an office all legged it to the window at 11:30 whilst drinking a can of diet coke* to watch a scantily clad female walk past their office.
* other fizzy drinks are available
I did used to work in a workplace which was mainly female, and there was 'bantz' from some of the womene, that, if expressed the other way, would have been seen as sexist in nature.
It was during the 'ladette' era though, and may have changed since then. Some of it was bravado, such as one girl whose suggestions at times made out that she was dirtier than the office microwave, but in reality..........wasn't.![]()
You sound as if you found out first hand that she wasn't?

if I gave my wife an iron she would get the raving arse
Are people complaining because they think that sexism towards men is unacceptable or because they want to be sexist towards women and get away with it?
Whilst working at Legal and General I was asked to take down my Hollyoaks girls calendar (A secret santa gift) while her Robbie Williams calendar in various states of undress stayed up throughout December.
Calendars generally should be banned IMO, I assume you have outlook....
