Discrimination against men

Discrimination against men has little research and is discussed little due to cultural bias, and equality measures often pay little or no attention to men. Discrimination for men has been described as the stereotypes that they are physically or sexually dangerous towards women and children, affecting their outcome in the healthcare and education sectors. There has also been research showing a systematic grading bias against boys in education and higher rates of punishment than women for the same activities in both law and schooling. Discrimination against women is perceived as morally worse than discrimination against men.

Employment

Studies have shown that people have a more negative attitude to discrimination against women when hiring than to discrimination against men. In the United States, both supporters of the Republican Party and, to an even greater extent, supporters of the Democratic Party expressed a more negative attitude towards managers who discriminate against women when hiring than towards managers who discriminate against men. It was also revealed that people are more concerned about the shortage of women in those professional niches dominated by men (mathematics, engineering, technology, science) than the shortage of men in fields dominated by women (healthcare, preschool education, household). Men are often sanctioned in the form of condemnation and ridicule for their interest in traditionally "female" professions (for example, a nurse or kindergarten teacher). As the psychologist Francesca Manzi points out, in such cases, discrimination against men is often not recognized as such, which may be due to traditional gender attitudes that prohibit men from traditionally feminine behavior.

There is limited research about discrimination against men in the workplace, and the OECD often does not consider men when measuring gender equality. Eurofound's European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) in 2015 showed that 1% of men and 3.1% of women had perceived discrimination in the past 12 months. Discrimination against men in regards to hiring typically happens in occupations which have the gender role of being feminine. Discrimination against men in female-dominated workplaces is more prevelant than discrimination against women in male-dominated workplaces. Employers may consider that men taking time off means that they are not commited to their job, whereas women taking time off is considered normal. Discrimination can also take the form of stricter dress codes for men.

In 2006 researchers of the English labour market sent out CVs with equal qualifications, ages and experience and concluded that the feminine gender role job of secretaries discriminated against men with hiring, but the study also found 'mixed occupations' with discrimination against men: trainee chartered accountants and computer analyst programmers. Some believe that this may be due to affirmative action.

According to the Observatory of Inequalities, in France men are put under more pressure in work and expected to work long hours and full time. Men are also have higher rates of accidents. They called this 'reverse sexism'.

In a study published in 2019, researchers looked at gender discrimination in 131 countries, and claimed that in 91 (68%) of those countries, men were more disadvantaged than women. They argued that the Global Gender Gap measure was flawed as weightings often did not include situations where men are disadvantaged, and due to a low level of research about men. They based their claim about more men being disadvantaged due to levels that disproportionately affect men and boys, such as receiving harsher punishments than the same crimes of women, overrepresentation in the homeless and prison population, compulsory military service (both in the present and living history), higher levels of suicide, higher levels of drug and alcohol abuse, more occupational deaths, underperformance in education, being overrepresented in dangerous jobs, and experiencing higher rates of physical assault.

Nursing

Discrimination against men has been described in the healthcare sector due to gender stereotypes and prejudice. In a study of male nurses educators, discrimination was described as a common practice. It included rejection from patients, rejection to support career prospects from hospital management, and having to pay their own expenses during education where female students received stipends. Negative experiences of male nurses included rejection, discrimination, accusations from patients and families; harassment and lack of support from female colleagues, managers, and educators.

After the 'feminisation of nursing' in the 19th century, it became socially inappropriate for males to provide intimate care for female patients, such as inserting a catheter. It was also theorised that men were not fit for nursing because the rough hands of men were "not fitted to touch, bathe and dress wounded limbs". Some people view that male nurses do not confirm to the traditional gender stereotyped role that women are the caretakers, and many consider nursing to be a women-only profession.

In 2006, a male nurse won a discriminatory case against the National Health Service which refused to let him perform procedures on women without a female chaperone. Female nurses did not have this rule.

Education

Compared to identical women, male elementary school teachers are perceived as having a greater safety threat to children, less likable and less hirable.

A 2016 survey on the education workplace in Denmark found that 64% of men compared to 39% of women had rules to stop them from sexually assaulting the children, the most common being closing doors while changing nappies. It also found that 10% of men compared to 3% of women were not allowed to be with the children alone and 17% of men reported that there were rules for men only in their workplace. 35% of men and 24% of women had rules constraining physical contact with children, such as kissing and hugging. The survey also reported that 50% of men compared to 15% of women restrained from doing certain activities with children in fear of suspicion of inappropriate conduct. This included not having a baby on their lap, not changing nappies and not kissing a child.

50/50 recruitment

In 2021, the Crime and Corruption Commission of Queensland, Australia, said that due to the Police's strategy on 50/50 recruitment, 200 male candidates were discriminated against. They said that women ineligble for the applied position were selected over men who were eligible.

Education

Historically men received more education than women, but in recent years women have outnumbered men in tertiary education in almost all countries.

A study looking at children born in the 1980s in the United States until their adulthood found that boys with behavioural problems were less likely to complete high school and university than girls with the same behavioural problems. Boys had more exposure to negative experiences and peer pressure, and had higher rates of grade repetition. Owens, who conducted the study, attributes this to negative stereotypes about boys and says that this may partially explain the gender gap in education.

People are also less likely to assist males falling behind in grades that females.

Grading bias

Multiple studies have shown grading bias against boys, irregardless of the examiner's sex. In these studies, examiners were provided no information about the students apars from their name. This includes a 2004 study in Israel where 9 subjects; in the arts, sciences and mathematics were tested. A 2020 study of junior high schools in Sweden conducted a similar study, estimating a bias against boys of 23% of a standard deviation. Biasses have also been found in Portugese and French high schools, and a study of 15-year-olds in Czechia, and in Italy.

A study looking at the perceptions of students by their teachers found that teachers perceive girls as having higher "Persistence, Mood, and [educational competence]" and boys having higher levels of "Activity, Distractibility, Inhibition, and Negative Emotionality".

Punishment

Due to gender behavioured norms which many schools enforce, boys receive on average higher rates of suspension, expulsion and retention than girls with the same behaviours. This begins in preschool.

Scholarships

In many universities there are scholarships for women only, often known as women's scholarships. These have been described as illegal under Title IX and discriminatory against men, causing the United States Department of Education to launch multiple investigations around the country.

In a study of 220 universities in the United States, 84% of them offered single-gender scholarships. The study described the universities as discriminatory if there are 4 or more women-only scholarships compared to men-only, and described 68.5% of the universities as discriminatory against men. People pushing to get these removed have mentioned that these scholarships were created in the 1970s when women were under-represented in tertiary education, but it is now men who underperform and that the scholarships should become gender-neutral.

In 2008 the Human Rights Commission of New Zealand considered abolishing women's scholarships.

Law

Pension

In 2022 the European Court of Human Rights found that the Swiss government discriminates against men. Women whose husbands die receive a pension for the rest of their lives whereas men only receive a pension if they have children under the age of 18. The law is expected to be rewritten.

In Cyprus, men cannot receive the pension of a dead person, but women can.

Between 1940 and 1991 in the United Kingdom, the pension age was different for men and women. It was 65 for men and 60 for women, although this has now changed. This also had an effect on bus free passes where women previously could get them at a younger age than men.

Retirement age

The retirement age in many countries is higher for women than for men. This has been criticised that because women have a higher life expectancy, even if the retirement age was equal, men have less time in retirement. This includes Switzerland where the retirement age for men is 64 whereas the retirement age is 65 for women. It was voted to increase the retirement age for women to 65. In a few countries however, the retirement age for men is lower than for women, such as Spain, Finland and France.

Punishment

In the United Kingdom, United States, and France, women who commit crimes are less likely to be arrested, and sent to court than men. Males arrested for murder are six times more likely to face the death penalty than females arrested for murder. Many scholars have suggested that this is due to chivalric beliefs.

A study in France of sentences between 2000 and 2003 found that women who commited comparable offenses to men received prison sentences that were 33% shorter. The study suggested that the gender gap is caused by the gender of the judge, rather than the prosecutor.

An analysis of the criminal practice of various countries revealed the existence of discrimination against men in criminal and penal enforcement law. In an extensive study of criminal practice in New Zealand, it was revealed that male criminals are more likely than female criminals to receive real sentences instead of suspended ones, and it was proved that it is the gender of the defendants that influences sentencing, including taking into account other factors such as criminal record. Judges tend to explain the criminal actions of women by social factors, to find mitigating circumstances in them. UK courts systematically impose lower penalties on women for theft, explaining their concern for their children. This argument is used even when mitigating the punishment of childless women. A similar situation in the United States was recognized by the Ministry of Justice. In Finland, according to the database of the state research institute Optula, men receive longer sentences for similar crimes than women and are less likely to be sentenced to probation.

Rape

In New Zealand, the definition of rape is defined by penetrative sex, which means that by law, men cannot be raped as they are being forced to penetrate. This is the same in England and Wales, the Philippines, and Switzerland.

Proposed

During 2013, the New Zealand Labour Party proposed the banning of men from candidate selections to reach 50% women in parliament. It was later scrapped after criticism that it was undemocratic.

Domestic violence

Main article: Domestic violence against men

In a study looking at male victims of female-perpetrated domestic violence in Australia, victims reported that support services responded to them with ridicule, doubt, arresting the victims, and refusal by police to listen to their side of the story. Female-on-male is considered by society as less serious than male-on-female violence, and domestic violence studies and measures often exclusively take account for women.

In a study of psychologists in 2004, they found that psychologists rated that the actions of husbands were more likely to be psychologically abusive and more severe than wives who commited the same actions.

Violence against men

Main article: Violence against men

Men are more likely to be victims of physical violence than women. In the USA, crime statistics since 1976 show that men make up the majority (74.9%) of victims in murders involving both male and female criminals. However, due to gender bias, men's safety worries people less than women's safety. Discrimination also leads to the fact that men who are victims of violence do not show empathy.

A study in 2023 found that people—especially women—are less likely to accept violence against women than violence against men.

Discrimination against homosexual and transgender men

Homosexual men are more victimized than lesbians. In particular, homosexual sex of men has been and continues to be criminalized or otherwise prosecuted in more jurisdictions than lesbian sex, and there are no countries that would criminalize only same-sex sex of women. Gays are much more likely than lesbians to become victims of hate crimes. For example, the FBI's hate crime statistics show that in 2008 58.6% of crimes based on sexual orientation were motivated by bias against gays, while only 12% were motivated by bias against lesbians. Gay men face greater difficulties in adopting children than lesbians, even in countries where same-sex couples are allowed to adopt children.

As gender researcher M. Holleb points out, transgender men face a specific kind of discrimination based on the position that trans men are actually women. This discrimination includes the invisibility of trans men in society. Researcher E. K. Krell writes about the existence of a racialized transmisandry faced by transgender men of color living in an atmosphere of strict control over black masculinity.

Health

The life expectancy of women in almost all countries exceeds the life expectancy of men (the difference in the life expectancy of men and women is especially significant in Eastern European states). Even in Japan, where the average life expectancy is one of the highest in the world, the gap between men and women was more than 7 years in favor of women.

Military and criminal violence, suicides and industrial accidents are factors that contribute to the reduction of men's life expectancy. The frequency of fatal cases of violence against men and the greater tolerance for violence against men largely explain why men, as a rule, live much less than women. In almost all countries of the world, men are also more likely than women to commit suicide. In the West and in Western Asian countries, the suicide rate among men is at least twice as high as among women, and sometimes the gap is even greater. Men also make up the majority of victims of fatal industrial accidents. In the United States, the death rate at work among men is about ten times higher than among women. Although women account for 43% of the hours worked for wages in the United States, they account for only 7% of accidents at work. The situation is worse in Canada, where men account for about 95% of workplace fatalities. In this country, the number of workplace deaths among men is about 10.4 per 100,000, while the corresponding figure among women is 0.4 per 100,000. In Taiwan, men account for about 93% of workplace fatalities.

Mental health

Much of mental health research is focussed on women instead of men, which has caused scholars to describe problems faced by men as a 'silent epidemic', an 'invisible crisis', or a 'quiet catastrophe'. Men comprise between 75% and 80% of deaths by suicide, and around three quarters of those with substance use disorders are men. Despite this, only around 30% of people who use mental health services are men.

Literature on men's mental health has been described by multiple scholars as using an approach that is narrowly focussed that borders on victim blaming, unlike the studies on women's mental health. These often focus on mental health issues being caused by 'masculinity' and the attitudes and behaviours of men rather than "acknowledging a highly complex web of causation". This includes the World Health Organization, who have encouraged 'programmes with men and boys that include deliberate discussions of gender and masculinity'. Scholars have criticised that focussing on masculinity 'blam[es] the victim; undervalu[es] positive male traits; and alienat[es] men in whom we seek to instil healthy behaviours'.

Mental health advertising has been criticised by scholars for blaming men for their mental health issues. For example, the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality have made campaigns with the slogan "this year thousands of men will die from stubbornness". The Australian mental health campaign, Beyond Blue have written "Men are known for bottling things up".

Parenting

Less than 10 percent of scientific studies about parents or parenting include fathers, and books about parenting almost exclusively focus on the mother. In an interview of 49 single fathers, they said that they perceived that society does not recognise their status as a single parent. Writing in the Family Law Quarterly journal, Jerry W. McCant says that society makes little or no effort to teach boys the social skills of nurturing. She described men as apart from their financial contributions, a 'disposable parent', due to society's belief that women are better equipped for parenting and that fathers are not considered parents.

In a divorce, men are much less likely to get custody of their children than women. In the United States, fathers receive sole custody of children in about 10% of cases, and women in almost three-quarters of cases (in the case of child custody disputes, mothers' petitions are granted twice as often as fathers' petitions). In New Zealand, fathers receive custody of children in about 11% of cases settled in family court, while mothers receive custody in about 65% of cases. In Canada, women receive sole custody in more than 70% of cases. At the same time, in Canada, just over 93% of women applying for sole custody received this permission; at the same time, only two-fifths of men who applied for custody of children were able to obtain it. It is more difficult for gay men to adopt children than for lesbians, even in countries where same-sex couples are allowed to adopt children.

At the same time, as scientists note, one of the reasons why courts often deny fathers preferential custody rights over children is the insufficient involvement of fathers in the care and care of children before divorce. According to research, on average, in families with two parents, fathers spend four times less time on direct communication with children than mothers.

However, other studies say that divorced men feel much worse emotionally than divorced women. For example, they are more likely than women to end up in psychiatric hospitals after a divorce. While divorced women are no more likely to commit suicide than married women, divorced men are twice as likely as married men to commit suicide. This is largely due to the fact that after a divorce, fathers lose close daily contact with their children. Women also report greater satisfaction with the terms of the divorce and a greater sense of control over the divorce process than men.

Gender studies

Discrimination against men has little research due to cultural bias. The Global Gender Gap Index has been criticised for only including disadvantages that disproportionately affect women, meaning that the index cannot measure when men are disadvantaged. It also does not penalise countries where girls outperform boys in education for example, treating it as if the genders were equal.

Media

Advertising

Following the banning of an advertisement where a wife asks pest exteriminators to dispose of pests with one being her husband, CEO Fiona Jolly of the Advertising Standards Authority in Australia said in an interview that it was common for men in advertising to be portrayed as dithery and less capable compared to their partners. Gender stereotyping in british advertisements have been banned since 2017.

Airline seating

Main article: Airline seating sex discrimination controversy

Air New Zealand and Qantas banned men from sitting next to unaccompanied children in planes. It was criticised for promoting the idea that all men are pedophiles and removing the distinction between caring family men and pedophiles. It also associated all men with the actions of the minority of men. The policy was criticised for using the health of children to justify discrimination against men. It was described by multiple accounts of men that such policies made them afraid of being falsely accused of child abuse or pedophillia.

Women-only parking spaces

Main article: Women's parking space

In several parts of Germany exists parking spaces designated to women only due to them experiencing higher rates of sexual abuse. The law of some regions requires that 30 percent of parking are women-only. It has been under debate whether these are discriminatory or not, and that they promote the stereotype that women are bad drivers. There is also women-only parking in Austria, Switzerland, China and Indonesia. In Seoul, these were removed in efforts to promote gender equality.

Perceptions

Several studies have shown that people judge discrimination against women morally worse than discrimination against men. People also have less of a concern about the under-representation of men in healthcare, early-education and domestic careers than the under-representation of women in STEM.

Due to the attribution error of the gender group, the negative behavior shown by representatives of both sexes is perceived as characteristic and typical only for men. People tend to attribute negative intra-group female behavior to environmental variables, while negative extra-group male behavior is attributed solely to personal characteristics.

Psychologist Aman Siddiqi, applying an intersectional approach, notes that men do not face bias to the same extent: for example, the manifestation of gender stereotypes, such as the perception of men as dangerous and aggressive, will vary depending on race.

Researchers Alice Eagly and Antonio Mladinik introduced the women-are-wonderful effect in 1994 after they found that both men and women tend to attribute positive traits to women, with women showing a much more pronounced bias. Positive traits were attributed to men by both sexes too, but to a much lesser extent. They found this trend in their 1989 and 1991 studies, which used questionnaires distributed to students in the United States

In an online survey 22,508 adults in 33 countries, conducted by Ipsos between 2022 and 2023, 48% of people believed that the promotion of women's rights has gone as far as discriminating against men.

Conscription

Military registration only for men in the United States is one of the examples that gender researcher Warren Farrell uses to illustrate male disenfranchisement. He writes that if any other group (the examples he lists are Jews, African Americans and women) were chosen based on their characteristics at birth to become the only group for which registration for potential death would be required, then society would call it anti-Semitism, racism or sexism. Men, according to him, absorb in the course of socialization ideas about military duty for men as a path to "glory" and "power", and as a result do not consider it as discrimination.

In 1981, the U.S. Supreme Court in the Rostker v. Goldberg case recognized the constitutional practice of military registration of only the male part of the country's population, arguing that women could not serve in positions related to direct participation in hostilities. However, in 2015, the Pentagon lifted all restrictions on military service for women. In this regard, National Coalition For Men filed a lawsuit on the unconstitutionality of military registration aimed only at men, considering this practice discriminatory: men who do not register in Selective Service System at the age of 18 may be denied state benefits, such as employment in federal organizations and student loans. As a result, on February 22, 2019, a federal court in Texas agreed with human rights defenders, recognizing the current system of military registration in the United States unconstitutional. However, this decision was overturned by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Then a petition for review was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2021, the US Supreme Court refused to review the decision of the Court of Appeals.

In Soviet society, universal male military duty played a significant role in the construction of masculinity: Soviet ideas about militarized masculinity were based on the ideas of civic duty, heroism and patriotism, and Soviet gender ideology defined military service as the most important instance of turning a boy into a man. In post—Soviet Russia, the link between masculinity and militarization, established by the institute of conscription, has undergone significant changes - largely for political and economic reasons. Unlike the Soviet one, the post-Soviet Russian state no longer provides men with the former social guarantees as a reward for militarization, and the state's rupture of the former social contract leads to the reluctance of young men to go to military service. In addition, with the collapse of the Soviet state, militarized masculinity came into conflict with the new capitalist masculinity: many young men believe that military service is incompatible with a dynamic market economy and competition in the labor market. Scientists also state a significant gap between the state ideology of militarized patriotism and the sentiments of the Russian population, a significant part of which is skeptical about post-Soviet military conflicts and does not regard them as fair.

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Ukrainian authorities, in order to mobilize men, banned men aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country before the end of hostilities, which is discrimination against men on the basis of gender and violation of human rights. Partial mobilization in Russia is no less discriminatory for men, since it forces them to risk their lives and health and kill other people regardless of their views; at the same time, men who fled mobilization in Russia are not even recognized by other countries as refugees.

Male circumcision

Gender researcher David Benatar notes that although male circumcision in itself is not discrimination, there are still several significant aspects of circumcision that can be characterized as discriminatory — among them he refers to the lack of anesthesia when circumcising boys. He also writes about the contrast when Western society ignores the painful circumcision of boys with the removal of the entire foreskin and at the same time extremely negatively perceives minimally invasive forms of manipulation with the genitals of teenage girls (for example, a symbolic incision of the clitoris without removing any vulva tissues in Somali girls in the USA, which served as an alternative to traditional circumcision).

Affirmative action

As the philosopher David Benatar notes, one of the key injustices of affirmative action is that giving women from more prosperous racial groups (who have almost the same opportunities as their brothers, attending the best schools and receiving additional education) the same advantages as representatives of disadvantaged racial groups (attending the worst schools and unable to hire tutors), leads to an unjustified bias in favor of white women compared to all others. According to Benatar, affirmative action by gender, which provides benefits to some members of a group in response to past discrimination against other members of that group, does not correct the injustice, but instead recreates it anew. The argument appealing to discrimination against women in the past is refuted, for example, by the fact that proponents of affirmative action on the basis of gender would not call up only women for military service in countries where men in the past bore the brunt of military service, or disproportionately many women in those countries where military service is maintained exclusively for men.

As for the arguments in defense of affirmative action, which point to discrimination against women in the present, from Benatar's point of view, they are often based on double standards: in particular, proponents of affirmative action on the basis of gender claim that a large representation of men in desirable positions is discrimination against women, but they never say that that a large representation of men in undesirable positions is associated with discrimination against men. Those who support affirmative action in favor of women never come to the conclusion that men are unfairly discriminated against, accounting for more than half of those who are imprisoned or executed, or more than half of those who drop out of school or die at work.

The scale of discrimination

The extent of discrimination against men in the modern world is the subject of debate in the scientific community.

Gender researchers from McGill University, Paul Nathanson and Katherine K. Young, note that by now discrimination against men is so widely institutionalized that it is best described as systemic and characteristic of the legal system as a whole. Sociologist Pasi Malmi, summarizing research on the theory of roles and men's studies, characterizes discrimination against men as mainly structural discrimination, which is caused by the sexist gender system of industrial societies that does not allow men to achieve real gender equality with women. In the case of structural discrimination, members of the discriminated group are disadvantaged due to structural factors such as gender roles, social norms, power structures, language, aggregate choices and actions of members of society. In case of structural discrimination, there is no clearly identifiable subject of discrimination, instead, a certain collective entity — society, market, mass media - usually acts as such.

At the same time, social justice researchers Camden Strunk and Leslie Locke argue that cisgender men may experience gender discrimination, but it is not sexism due to its non-systemic nature (unlike transgender men who experience sexism). Sociologist Øystein Gullvåg Holter characterizes the position of men in the gender hierarchy rather as mixed, but not as purely dominant. As sociologist Fred Pincus points out, men may face intentional discrimination, although women are in a less favorable position than men; Pincus also believes that such cases of discrimination against men have nothing to do with positive discrimination. Psychologist Francesca Manzi notes that since men, unlike women, are not a typical object of discrimination, discrimination against men is more difficult to detect; moreover, estimates of the scale of the phenomenon may depend on discrepancies in the definition of the term "discrimination". According to her, the non-recognition of a number of unfavorable situations by discrimination may be influenced by traditional gender attitudes, which prohibit men from traditionally feminine behavior.

Discirimination against men is sometimes known as second sexism, reverse sexism, or misandry.
