Discrimination against men

Discrimination against men is the unfair treatment of men based on gender. In the workforce it has been observed in the health and education sectors due to stereotypes that men are dangerous to women and children. In the legal system, men on average receive higher rates of incarceration and longer sentences than women for similar crimes.

Discrimination against men has little research and is discussed little due to cultural bias. Equality measures often pay little or no attention to men, and discrimination against women is perceived as morally worse than discrimination against men.
