Do you mean women being sexist towards men or self loathing?

No. I mean, is there any evidence that one gender is generally sexist, at least any more than the other? You asserted that men in general are sexist in some way; what's your evidence for that?

I'm coming with any statistical evidence, I believe much of the world is a patriarchy and sexism is directed towards women, that means we are conditioned.

I agree that much of the world has been patriarchal and sexist toward women, but I'd also point out that many women in patriarchal societies endorse and promote misogyny, as strange as it may sound. I've seen this firsthand as well.

Personally, I think that there are more factors involved in perpetuating sexism than just one gender supposedly being sexist in general. Cultural norms and traditions rooted in patriarchy (which, as I said, is promoted by members of both genders in many places) play a huge part, I think.

To maintain patriarchy then of course you need both sexes to comply, you can do this by divide and conquering, as Harriet Tubmen said "I freed a thousand slaves and could of freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." I wouldn't say the "slaves" are sexist though.

Good point. Then again, there are still people in patriarchal societies who outright refuse change, from both genders.

At any rate, I don't want to derail this thread any further, but if you're interested in pursuing this topic further in another thread, I'll be up for it.

So both sexes got stock with unfair gender roles and both accepted it and promoted it but only men are sexists.

Sure, that is not sexist at all. If I had to choose though, I would prefer my worth being valued by giving and nurturing life than by providing money and killing other people while risking my own life and betraying my morals for a purpose I dont believe in.

Then again, that would be sexist of me.

Gender roles opress everyone and everyone who mantains them is responsible. Pretending only or mostly men are sexist is disgustingly and blatantly sexist.
