Sexism Against Men

yeah but you mean mandatory military service more as a way of instilling discipline and perspective in someone right, not as a way of fighting a war.

i would agree but almost every person i know who joined the military came back as a huge jerkwad

no one is saying anything about what's right, or anything about YOU. i'm saying what usually happens. you've taken what seems to be personal offense to numbers before and you need to get over that if you want to have an unbiased debate.

i'm planning on adopting too.

Then let me say something about what's right. It's right for a father to have as much a hand in raising his children as a mother does. I'm sick of laws and conventions that deny that to fathers, and I am terrified because some day I might be such a father that those laws and conventions affect.

I'm not saying it's not possible, I just don't know how a girl would go about it (In reference to the photo links). I do realize that a man there mentioned a step-dad, which totally changes how it was ... gone about. I'm sad for those men. No one hears about them when things like that happen, and that's not fair.
Sexism happens in both directions, just in different ways.
Either way, however it happened, no one deserves that. Ever.

To explain it in simple terms, men have no more control over getting hard than women do over getting wet. Men are also just as vulnerable to being socially coerced into having sex that they do not want.

If you need an example, there is a female-on-male rape in Wedding Crashers. It's played for laughs, which is really fucking creepy, but it's there.

Garrett, I think she was just confused about the logistics.

Whilst not in the same league by far, the below article is a pure example of sexism against men that's socially totally OK:
