Men seemed to have banned women from almost everything throughout most of history. And usually the most ridiculous excuses were given as to why she was banned. Being in an orchestra was seen as indecent. Couldn't be on a ship or go to a mine because that was bad luck. Couldn't get an education because of her ovaries being compromised, can't run in a marathon because of the uterus falling, it wasn't lady like to be a writer, etc. Even in America women weren't allowed to go to a restaurant alone even in the early 20th century. They would kick her out without a male escort. It just seems like men don't like women around so they invent any excuse to get rid of women. Why were women banned from most things if not hatred?
Throughout history, men from most professions such as biology, theology, philosophy, and psychology wrote many books mentioning how women are inferior, weak, stupid, evil, etc.
Many men online complain about how women are boring and have boring hobbies. However, if women start doing male hobbies men complain that women are invading their spaces. It again just seems that men don't like women around if they have things in common or not.
Men online also complain a lot about how women are stupid because they don't know about their male interests. However, women were banned from many male interests until just recently. Even in the 1960s women were still not allowed in many engineering schools. Being banned from politics, business, sports and science made many interests develop into something that seems very masculine. This would make it seem very uninteresting sometimes to women.
---Many women online report that though they are technically allowed into these interests today, they feel very osracized and alienated by their male co-students and co-workers to the point of having to quit for their sanity. I've heard of many stories by women who reported that ALL not some, but ALL of their male peers were mean and awful towards her. Stories sounds like they ganged up against her.
It doesn't seem like a rare fluke but the common norm for men to treat their female co-workers in science, tech, law, and finance like 2nd class citizens. For example, the drop out rate from male dominated school majors and jobs in the field for women is very high. In tech, in the first 10 years they drop out at double or triple the rate of men. Surveys report feeling like they are being treated unfairly was the main reason women left. Men don't seem to like to work with women.
5) The orchestra was only 5% women, then they were sued. They started having blind auditions and the level of women came to be 50%. Men didn't seem to want to hire women if they knew she was a woman.
Since the 1980s, around 70% of the degrees in art, design, and journalism had been given to women. However, in the industry, it's men hiring men, so most 70% of the journalists and graphic designers are men. Men seem to hire men and promote men. Women often only get entry level positions, even for female dominated professions such as teaching, medical, and Fashion, most of the leaders are male.
Startups by women hire both men and women more often. But startups by men hire men at a rate of 95%.
6) Girl or women gamers say they can't show that they are a female online or they won't be able to play the game. They say things like that 9/10 times they try to vote kick them off, even sabatoge their game by killing the woman playing. It's so bad that 80% of women pretend to be a man when playing.
Men say stop being such sensitive victims, the gaming community is very rough and being picked on is normal. However, since 80% of women pretend to be men, they know what type of harassment is normal for men. And you don't see men pretending to be women online to avoid harassment the way women are doing.
What women are getting is something else. Men make it close to impossible for women to play. They are often either gender harassed or sexually harassed. They aren't harassed for how they are playing. This disturbs me because it shows me that men don't see women as human if under anonymous circumstances they focus so much on sex and gender. It also makes it seem like men doesn't like to interact with women since they try to get her to leave the game a lot.
7) Many men seem offended and humiliated if a woman does better than her at work or while playing a game. This is like assuming that all men should be better than all women and get very emasculated if he didn't do as well. It's to the point that women who have achievements at work doesn't feel congratulated, or recognized. They say things like when her male coworker does well it's like fireworks. When the woman does well, it's crickets. Women feeling ignored and unrecognized at work is part of why they quit.
8) The way men communicate shows a lack of respect. Studies show that men interrupt women much more than other men. Also, many, many women in social media and in news articles report their male co-workers stole their ideas. That she'll say something, five minutes later a man would repeat what she said, and he'd get the credit. Many women say that men just won't listen to them. They will only hear it if it comes from a man. Many men talk down to women in a condescending way. Mansplaining is common. Men argue this not to be the case, however, Transgender women often report that they were treated like they were stupid and talked down to a lot by other men after their transition. They were shocked by how badly women are treated. They say that they are dismissed and not believed. Transgender men report the opposite, that they are treated with more respect, are listened to more, and not dismissed, not inturrupted after becoming men.
