Would anyone raise even an eyebrow if a woman sliped a sexy male model photo in a slide?

The context is not symmetrical. Men have not been historically discriminated against in the workplace on the same massive scale that women have.




wow, so that makes it right? Men are definitely discriminated at the workplace. I've worked at a few offices which comprised of mostly females and the sexist jokes and discrimination against men was unbearable.

It doesn't get stopped because most people don't see it as a high priority.

No, the parent comment asked whether anyone would raise an eyebrow if a woman posted a sexy male picture, implying that men are being more reasonable in acquiescing to such humor. I was pointing out why most men aren't as disturbed by it.


Women are discriminated more. As this study shows.


it doesn't matter. Both should be stopped..but it seems there is an obvious bias.


Make it a black male then
