This is a question Sexism

Freddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.

What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

In theory yes
but these two situations are dealt with and perceived differently:

Man: "tsk, typical woman"

Woman: "tsk, typical man"

Which one would likely get more of a reaction in say, the workplace?

Things are so much simplier in my head.
I very much doubt that any man would externalise that thought in the modern workplace. Not if they value their job, anyway (aside: ever noticed how HR seems to be dominated by women?)

In contrast, a woman may very well externalise that thought in the workplace. In fact, she may joke about it with her female peers without much thought. And therein lies the rub.

Feminism is justified. But I think it's got to the point where, rather than empowering women (it's done that well), it's continued further and is now actively emasculating men.

The infamous "Diet Coke break" advert comes to mind. You know the one - where the office girls all huddle around their Diet Cokes to ogle the male window cleaners with their shirts off.

Look at the Lynx ad campaign

The "bullet" one where the guy sees a girl in her undies
and she's - how shall we say this - "quite fit"?

Yet when the girl sees the guy in his briefs, he's some pasty white pencil thin thing that's scared of the sun?

Yes, that's equality right there.
