As a man, Its assumed I should OK with anything that comes my way. Almost anything! I mean I've put up with some crazy things in the past. I can only imagine the crap storm that would erupt if a women were to held to same standards or if the same treatment were to meted out to them.
Its assumed that when it comes to freedom, men are supposed to own up its biggest burden called 'responsibility'.
We are judged with a very different definition and standard of freedom.
Look I'm not saying people don't get discriminated or harassed for their identity. People face this issues all the time, some one because of their gender, some because of their skin color, religion, or ethnicity or anything.
But if you keep justifying all your failures and problems by saying 'Bad things happen to you because your are X'. Replace X by black, women, muslim etc. The problem is very likely with your and not the world.
Having said this I still insist, men are constantly judged by very different standards compared to women.
I strictly believe by repeatedly playing the victim card and asking more benefits based on that, women are actually doing disservice to their original cause.
I'm male, and I'm saying that I don't think some of the criticisms she's received are warranted. There are definitely some legitimate critical points (the work from home policy, for example), but there also seem to be a lot of criticisms that merely revolve around the fact that she's a woman.
You need to distinguish between "playing the victim card" and "calling out behavior which is odious and unacceptable." I think that it's odious and unacceptable to make such a flap about the fact the Marissa Mayer had a kid, or call her a "princess" for not having a better answer for how she got where she was than "worked hard and got lucky."

So, if you're forbidden from going to the same school, and having as much opportunity to learn, that's a problem with you? Remember, many schools were both racially and gender segregated until the 1970s; we've only had a single generation grow up into adults since that happened. Do you think that a single generation can be enough to remove all bias?
