Every single day, teenagers and young adults come to the the /r/MensRights Reddit to talk about how their classrooms are being taken over by the ideology of their teachers. Parents tell us that their sons are being marginalised, their daughters taught to scorn men, and how the media heaps scorn and hate on the entire male gender. The deluge is constant and consistent. Most stories come with a huge helping of blatant institutional bias and outright sexism. Bullying is a common theme, and is actively being encouraged and taken part in by the establishment.

This is the Everyday Sexism faced by boys in schools and at home; a problem so prevalent we intend to create an entire series of articles on it. As always, we have corrected a few minor spelling errors and capitalisations, but have otherwise left these stories completely intact. If you or anyone you know has a personal story about this kind of sexism, please let us know.

Boys Are Weak And Evil….

“I’ve really grown to dislike Doctor Who, which is a shame. A few years ago I saw my sons literally crumple watching an episode on Christmas Day when the Doctor described boys as inherently ‘weak’. It was really depressing.



I’ve just asked my eldest son Max – he’s now 17 – about it he says (direct quote): “…well this is your think Dad, I don’t get excited about it now. I don’t know why you keep going-on about it – you’re as bad as Jake*…it’s payback isn’t it? We’re the bad guys and we’re always the bad guys.”

Don’t know if that helps at all. *Jake (edit: he’s a friend of Max, not one of my sons) shouted ‘feminism is cancer’ at a teacher and got suspended from school as a result, we’ve got a video of it – its fucking hilarious because he clearly doesn’t give a shit.



….my sons know my views on this, and when he says that it’s with a sense of ‘that’s what we’re supposed to believe,’ so he knows it’s rubbish but doesn’t think there’s any point fighting it.” – Anonymous Redditor

“I’m A Woman, I’m Allowed To”

“I’m a 16 year old, and in my United States History class we were having debates, when a fellow female classmate interrupted a member of my debate team. After we called her out for it, she responded “I’m a woman, I’m allowed to interrupt.” To this we “flipped our shit”.



Radical feminism needs to be stopped, if you see something, do something. Don’t sit quiet like my teacher did.

We called them out HARD, it was a round robin debate, so we had 2 minutes to debate. After we finished, I called her out asking “What would you have done if I said ‘I can interrupt you because I’m a man’?” And she completely avoided the question saying “Well we got the points” (We were competing and the class was voting on who had the best debate. I was tempted to keep barraging her until she acknowledged what she did, but my teacher was already done with us arguing.



I have experienced girls in my school taking feminism and turning it into a weapon against men. This is probably the most prominent and obvious case that I have experienced.

There are teachers in my school who comment on issues that have to do with men and women and their respective rights, and the teachers that voice their opinion are always claiming that the wage gap still exists and those kind of feminist views that are used to turn people against men.



There’s a specific English teacher who I wont reveal their name, but when the Brett Kavanaugh situation came about, she talked about it in class, and I mentioned that these could be false accusations, and that 20+ years is a long time to bring up a crime. She responded saying that what the women were saying was true, and that I should “reconsider where I get my ‘facts’” – Anonymous Redditor

“This is a real story, happened just a few hours ago.“

“Today after finishing classes I packed up and went to my friend’s class to go home with him, but instead I see there are the class’s girls outside and the boys inside. I ask one of the girls what happened (they were all talking with each other) and they told me that the (f) teacher said that she wouldn’t let anyone out until “the culprit” of having thrown a paper ball out the window revealed itself.

The problem comes here, she then proceeded to said that all the girls could get out because they are mature enough to not to do something like that.



After hearing what happened, I raised my hand (like when you want to speak) in front of their class’s door (it’s a big window style door). The teacher told me to go away but I persisted, after she told me that about two or three times she came towards me. At the same time, I opened the door and told her: “I think what happened is very sexist”.

To which she replied: “Sexist?!” (she said it as if I was saying something crazy) “Who let you get into my class without permission? I will talk with your teacher!!!”



I don’t think I’m going to get into trouble because even the girls were talking to another teacher about what happened. And even if my tutor (that’s how the main teacher of a class is called here in Europe, idk about America) called me off, because simply if the roles were reversed in this story, the teacher would have almost 100% surely have gotten expelled, so I think I have a pretty strong argument.



So yeah, that’s how blatant sexism can get. It’s kinda sad that I was the only one to call her on her bs, luckily she’s only my teacher in a subject that counts almost nothing so I’m not even worried. Hell, I’m even proud for having stood up for once in my life.” – Anonymous Redditor

The girls act out, but the boys are punished

“Ok. In my classroom, when there is a lot of noise, the teachers always blame the boys, even though the girls talk more than the boys in my classroom, and then, it is the boys that get scolded, it does not happen as much as it did before because we’re not kids anymore, but it still happens sometimes.



One day, the director, who is a woman, came to my classroom to scold everybody for being noisy, and then she said something like: “The girls can go outside the classroom, because they aren’t guilty, but the boys will stay so i can talk to them” and then we stayed in the classroom for 10-15 minutes getting scolded for something we did only do 40% of, because the girls were being more noisy then us.



We didn’t get punished in the end, but it was boring, because the director was repeating the same “You shouldn’t be talking to each other in class”, and seriously, my friend, Raphael, who literally was not even talking, because he is one of those guys that don’t talk a lot, was scolded too just for being a boy.” – Anonymous Redditor

Words Are Weapons

“I was once accused, by a girl, of making inappropriate sexual advancements on another girl in high school… and you know what’s funny? I’m gay. I mean really fucking gay and wouldn’t touch a vagina with a 20 foot pole.



I just wanted to say I found the whole situation hilarious because no one with a functioning brain would believe I tried to get sexual with a woman. But it made me realize how fucking terrifying it is for a heterosexual man in today’s world. Seriously, I gotta hand it to you guys.” – Anonymous Redditor

Sexism In The Classroom

“I’m a freshman (sophomore for you Americans) in High School. I live in a highly Liberal area in Newfoundland, Canada (Though everywhere in this province is Liberal), and honestly, double standards can be astonishing. We have the usual shit, of course, with strong bias by educators who use their position to go on political rants and the such (for our remembrance day ceremony we had a speaker who talked about how Trump was Hitler and that we’re all going to be killed by nuclear bombs. Point is: People use their positions to promote their politics all the time).



My educators are the type of people who rag on men casually all the time, the type of people who talk about how woman are better, so as a long-time lurker of this sub and many others, it isn’t far-fetched for me to say that I really do fear being falsely accused of a crime such as rape by my peers. I have very petty people who don’t like me (read: hate me), and so I do legitimately worry that, one day, I’m going to wake up to a false accusation, and my prospects will be ruined. This fear is most-likely accentuated by the fact that I had false accusations (I’ve said false accusations a lot, haven’t I?) of assault before when I was younger placed against me by a bully I had.



One woman in particular, who may very well be reading this post right now, as I know that they found my reddit account once, is a very petty woman, a very heavy feminist, and one who also hates me as I got them suspended for another incident entirely. Due to the circumstances I have outlined, I worry every single day that this will happen, and that I’ll be fucked over because of someone else’s grudge. So, in closing, this is more of a rant from a youth of this age. I wish I lived in a society where this shit didn’t happen, but pipe dreams are just that, dreams..” – Anonymous Redditor

Men Are The Evil Gender

“What I want to bring to light today is how the feminist culture of ‘men being the perpetrators of all of the problems faced by women’ has seeped into education. Mainly the IBDP program. A little background, the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) program is an international education program that primarily for 16-18 year old students. It was first made in the early to mid 60’s in Geneva, Switzerland and is a 2 year program.



I am currently 3 months into my first year of the program and I can already see how the feminists have a grasp over it. They have a specific subject call “English Language-Literature” which is has two sections (i) Literature and (ii) Language



(I) Literature: Here the class has to analyse pieces of literature presented by the teachers and the include plays such as “A Streetcar Named Desire” and poems from Carol Duffy. Both the plays and the poems have overt feminist themes of how the males have oppressed the females in the past and how society was an oppressive patriarchy.



(II) Language: Now here is where I really have a problem. This part tackles issues such “Language and Gender” and is a very typical Gender Studies type class, with articles on how there is inherit bias towards men in society by perpetuating stereotypes. The worst part is, even when giving an example, my teacher sites “Toxic/Hyper Masculinity” as a valid theme and does not perpetuate any discussion on this or other topics that may have an opposing viewpoint.



All of the students in my class also view this situation as unbelievable including the girls, some of whom are moderate feminists.

I just felt the need to tell the world about this suffocating atmosphere, I am open to any advice in the comments on how I should challenge the teacher.” – Anonymous Redditor

Education Co-Opted By Ideology

“I don’t know what to do anymore. Everyday, in history class, discussion ends up being about feminism, about how men oppress women, about the patriarchy and preparing for the matriarchy, how men are all pigs and “only think about rape” You walk in fear, crossing lanes each time a woman is approaching, in fear of getting accused of “sexual assault”. You see marches everyday, social media just bringing men down, and people are trying to force a new dialect, because it seems our current dictionary is ‘part of the patriarchy’.



I live in Argentina, a country which is at this point, dominated by feminists. I don’t know what to do anymore. Each time I look at this sub I get more depressed, and my hope for a great future just goes away. I know for a fact I’m talking like an incel right now, but trust me, I’m not. I just need to vent. I’m sorry for wasting your time.” – ANONYMOUS REDDITOR
