Discrimination against men

  • Active prejudice towards men
  • Prejudicial treatment of males

Nature

Discrimination against men arises in certain circumstances in employment, education, public services, and before the law (for example, as regards homosexuals). In the event of divorce the woman is more likely to be granted custody of the children than the man. The segregation of men's and women's work may make it difficult for men to obtain certain kinds of work.
