Is it possible for you to explain in a little bit more detail as to how the exploitation is taking place?(Employment Education...)

Where I'm from which is Malaysia, gender discrimination still happens and even though it wasn't as bad as in our parents years, it still occurs. From wage payments to sports to education to politics. Women are often shun upon for wanting to do what men does because we are seen as the weaker species and incapable of carrying a man's duty. However, most of these discrimination only happens in Asian countries and the Western countries are coming out of it and giving the women opportunities. Is there a way to find a solution for this? Should women rebel and start putting their foot down?

dat aint true i stand to disagree .... therotically it is said to be looked down upon but in practice it is in mans egoistic nature to proof god knows wat! And it some how makes them feel in control.....be it obvious or not

...are you still living in the sixties? Indeed, women and men are still not equal in the workplace, but out of it, I think men are actually getting the worst of it. No one complains when a woman wants to work instead of be a homemaker, but if a guy decides to stay home to take care of the kids, he's ridiculed. Girls who play with tools are encouraged, but guys who play with dolls are put in therapy. Women's jeans are commonplace, but men's skirts? Unless we're talking about kilts, think again.

The women's rights movement has made giant leaps in leveling the playing field in some aspects of life, but has caused great disadvantages to men in others. Women may get paid less than men on average, but they're more likely to be hired due to affirmative action laws.

Each gender is disadvantaged in some way. But I don't believe the world is as male-dominated as you say it is. Chauvinism is looked down upon by everyone almost as much as racism is.
