No, I don't know this. Can you show me any position of power women cannot attain? Any legal power men have over us?

-
there are also people like Brock Turner that are acquitted of rape or get light sentences by real sexist judges
-
Did the judge have power 2 give a longer sentence?Is it not a fact that the people who get off most lightly re sex crime are women?
-
Again, we need rigorous examination. Ppl just look at acquittal rates and see sexism.
-
you can also just listen to the judge's statement. He was more concerned with Brock than the victim.

@DerekGT You can certainly criticise attitudes but is it always sexism? Judge far too concerned for these 2. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3749757/Paedophile-sisters-abused-six-year-old-boy-repeatedly-molested-14-years-SPARED-jail-deaf.html … -
maybe it is just that rape inspires some sick sympathy. Either way it's despicable. Perhaps not evidence of ptrchy in that case.
-
Its not patriarchy anyway coz there isn't a law which gives men more right to rape than women. Could be sexism but it is? Not here.
-
Well, not against women. Could be more sympathy for female perpetrators than male victim cos of their respective genders.

I know you will bring up that less women proportionally want to be leaders, but I think ones that do are disadvantaged
-
If so, we need some rigorous examination of how this happens.
@YeyoZa & I just discussing gender studies benefitting from this. -
Too often ppl start at the end. Differences exist. Therefore discrimination. Several steps missed.
-
If we assume discrimination keeps women from politics or physics, must assume it also keeps men from medicine & teaching.

I mostly meant just power differences, like how some people still think women don't make good leaders, which influences practice
-
Social attitudes need addressing, yes. I do this a lot. Those limiting both sexes.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/788773790734020608 …
