Finnish Men Victims of Sexism?

A new doctoral thesis claims that almost all men in Finland at
some point in their lives are the victims of sex discrimination.

According to Pasi Malmi, a Licentiate in Administrative Sciences,
the discrimination gets side-stepped in the name of sexual
equality.

Malmi is a board member of the Finnish Society for Men's Studies
and a vice chair of Gender Equality for Men in Finland. He
currently works as an information technology consultant, while
conducting research on the side.

Malmi's research looks at 800 complaints and a number of surveys on gender equality discrimination. Malmi says sex discrimination takes place both in and outside of the work place.

Malmi's thesis is being examined at the University of Lapland today.

Works well with Germany, too.

Just say military service (or social service, both a year). Men have to, women can if they want.

Quote from Feckless

Men have to, women can if they want.

This is fairly typical. When I worked at England's largest computer retailers, men had to wear ties while the women had a choice to wear neckercheifs or leave it bare. They also were allowed to unbutton the top three buttons on thier blouses, men couldn't - if we wanted a button undone, we had to sneak the top one open and place the tie over it so people couldn't see. Women were also allowed to have their blouses untucked, while men had to have their shirts tucked in.
