In 2018, I started working with women exclusively for reasons I've explained in a post entitled "why not." I cannot believe in 202o that I feel the need to explain myself. But on occasion, I've been accused of being "reverse sexist" or sexist towards men!
Let that sink in . . . Men actually think you can be sexist towards them? It's utterly absurd and ridiculous. You can DISCRIMINATE against men if they are gay, transgender, racial minorities, and religious minorities. And my deepest condolences to men who have been raped or sexually abused as adults and especially as children.
You cannot however claim sexism towards men as a gender relative to what women have endured throughout all of human history. So let's break down the struggles of women relative to men.
WOMEN WORRY ABOUT
MEN WORRY ABOUT
Feminism is a product of male chauvinism. If men treated women as equals, feminism wouldn't have needed to exist.
Guys we got it made! We can pee standing up. Gray hairs are considered "distinguished" and sexy. Even a "dad bod" is a thing? Men can attract women half their age! Women have never held the male gender down in any country at any time. Only male ants, bees, spiders,etc can claim sexism towards their Queen? (I don't think they see it in that way however)
As men we worry far less about our physical security. Don't worry about being drugged and raped. Don't worry if dressing too handsome will attract raunchy women who'll grope us. I can keep going on and on here.
So dudes. I'm sexist for not massaging you??? Is the women's only section of the health club sexist? Go to the gynecologist asking for a prostate exam. Is it sexist when they turn you away?
I'm not a restaurant denying you food, an employer denying you a job, a landlord denying you a space to rent over discrimination. I'm a self-employed male massage therapist who serves women only. It's both a business decision and a personal one. Touch is far more interpersonal and not your typical transaction.
Please go elsewhere.
