What sexist behaviour would be the most shocking if reversed?

• but if they object, however mildly, they will be called "fiery redhead" to the end of their days and everything else they say can be discounted

Although men and women all have a variety of different colouring, including hair, women's colouring is unremarked upon but men are called "blonds" "redheads" and "brunets". It is very funny to ask very personal questions about body hair of men with red hair.

In an imaginary reversed sexism world, bad behaviour of girls would be excused with the phrase "girls will be girls".

Girls would be considered much more straightforward than boys because when they have a disagreement then just thump each other and all is right once more. Boys on the other hand can remember and recount what someone did to them six months previously. This apparently is more complex and obviously a lot more difficult and worse to deal with.

And football! We're winning girls (yes, really!) those silly boys just cant get it together, can they? No point putting them on the telly

A mother wouldn't turn up to their child's birthday party and no one would bat an eyelid.

Netball World Cup commentators would all be female, as would the coaches, match officials and Presidents of national and international netball bodies.

Men hiding their razors, paying many pounds every month for fragranced ones, covers and unable to talk openly about when they need to shave. Advertisrment showing them frolicing atound with oddly colured razors.

Being told "don't be such a big boy's shirt"

A film should be made out of this...

school run dads would slow down the "important" traffic in the mornings.

After men have children, people don't bother to learn their name or call them something generic like "sir" or "mate". People just call them "dad".

The woman who cooked the steaks on the barbecue would be praised to high heaven for her clever culinary ability while the men who made everything else that went with the meal would be totally ignored.

At the school fayre the stalls would be manned by men whilst the women either are at home gardening.

PTA men only of course.

When rarely women would drop dc to school they'd avoid "all these men with nothing to do chatting away the mornnings at the school gates" (heard such comment in rl by a man. Wonder what men do outside the office, at football matches, at their lunch break).

You would have tons of men explaining that they changed their name because it was ugly and hard to pronounce, nothing to do with the customs at all. Interestingly, no women would have those difficult ugly names..

Despite documentary evidence to the contrary, a widespread belief that the title "Mster" pertained to divorced men would persist.

Men keeping their own name on marriage would be met by incredulity from some, who might come out with gems like "well, you can call yourself that but legally, your real name is your wife's, isn't it?" - or they would be told their name was just their mother's anyway, so why not change it?

This is the thread that just keeps giving isn't it..?

< bit sad tho >

Groom being given away by his mother at his wedding. Speeches only from his new bride and other females, including one by his mother, which should 'represent' him

A man would disagree with a woman on TV and a female politician would tweet how much she'd like to punch him in the throat. This would not be taken seriously by the female PM and most people would agree that yes this silly man was irritating ( and kind of deserved it)

In tribute to two things I saw this morning:

Women would do sports all day at the weekend while their DHs made tea and crumpets and scones for everyone. And, clapped them for doing the sport.

The National Geographic would do a magazine once a year called "Great Men in History". Ignoring women 90% of the rest of the time. Unless one man had particularly blue eyes and dark skin. he would be famous.

An article in The Guardian 21/06/14 would say "could rock's future be male?"

Now there's a good nurse

This is a brilliant thread so I'm bumping

Based on my experience at A&E yesterday: our sons aged 11 would wince and say 'oh no' when asked by the nurse to hop on the scales.

(Glad to say that in the real world, the lovely nurse immediately called my dd on it and said 'don't you ever worry about what you weigh, my love, just whether you're healthy')

Men who can't reach orgasm through non PIV sex are thought of as lesser sexual partners and are shamed by the women they have sex with. There are endless articles in fluffy men's magazines about how to achieve non PIV orgasm and yet there are still loads of agony uncles getting letters about it and suggesting that they just try harder.

Men with careers and children would get tired of being asked "can men really have it all?"
