Antisexism

This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.

Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.

Rules:

1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)

Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.

2. Be civil and listen before you speak

The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.

3. Respect personal experiences

All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.

4. Everyone is welcome!

Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

Throughout North America, June is known for two major events: Pride Month, and, most recently, Men's Health Month: a time to pay closer attention to issues regarding men's health in general and mental wellbeing in particular.

According to National Alliance on Mental Illness, 19% of adult U.S. men have experienced mental illness, but only 45,9% received any help. Without help, many men resort to substance abuse and suicide. At the same time, gender stereotypes still prevent many male patients from addressing the mental health challenges they face, while encouraging dangerous behaviors.

As such, bridging the cultural, financial, and other gaps in men's access to mental health services is crucial and beneficial for everyone.
