advice for men vs advice for women?
how do people reconcile this obvious sexism? what I'm talking about is there's totally different expectations between the sexes. for example if I posted a piece about a woman who loved her husband very much but struggled to keep the weight off had a husband who stopped having sex with her and shooting down her attempts and I told you that woman suffered depression from this and was very hurt the advice you would get would be unanimous, that guy is selfish, an a hole, divorce him cause you deserve better but if it was reversed..... when I type a piece about a woman rejecting her man for sex everyone comes to the defence of the woman. it's so predictable... the classic advice, : "well the man needs to talk to his wife to see what's troubling her so theyu can get past it and he can work on their marriage harder"
to summarize, when a man neglects his wife, there's no discussion as to why, he's 100% to blame no debate is tolerated and when a woman neglects her husband than (through some excuse) he's actually to blame for her bad behavior and the man needs to put in work so "he" doesn't allow that to happen again. men behaving bad, men to blame. women behaving bad... men to blame

Its a combination of a lopsidedly over sensitized society and sexism against both men and women. Our society, when it comes to gender issues, has a serious problem where they see the struggle women had, and still have, for equality and as being the mainly targeted victims of things like rape and domestic abuse and have become extremely overly sensitized to issues perceived to be womens but are actually relevant to both sexes. one serious example is how sexual assault in adults is handled. women, by todays statistics, are more likely to be sexually assaulted but that doesnt mean it doesnt happen to men. if a girl is too drunk to consent its rape but what if a man is too drunk to consent? he just "had a good time" and shouldnt complain. male victims of sexual assault deal with the same double standard as what your talking about right now. I think this has to do with lopsided oversensitivity. yes theres a lot still needed to be done for women in our society but men are at disadvantages too. The internet is the biggest place that this happens and its definitely not talked about enough in the right mindset. then theres the negative gender expectation of men always being the abuser and the women always being the victim. this isnt fair to either side and the treatment of domestic issues, crime, and actual gender equality is greatly damaged. i agree that this isnt fair. its bigoted towards men and treats women like they literally cant take care of a damn thing for themselves. thats where the sexism comes into play on both sides and its not right. pointing this stuff out is important, but it has to be done in the right mindset and that is societal advance not bitching and hate which is an equally prominent issue with sites like this.

Its just the way our culture was formed. Men are considered the fixer-upers

Women are blamed for neglecting their husbands all the time.
Why you think this doesn't happen puzzles me.
