I do believe women are demeaned at some point. There is always points in a female's life when she is treated bad because her gender. It might just be mild stuff like "Oh, you can't change tires, you're a GIRL" to have a male and yourself applying for a job and the male gets it because "at least he won't get pregnant and quit after all the training".
Also I would say, most females have been sexually harassed, and a lo of males have not. Sure, there are always cases of most things when badness happens no matter gender, but if we see a pattern... I think it is rather clear.
Since I started being on the Internet I have seen much more demeaning behavior than ever before, or told about it. I actually think it is because the spot in Europe where I live is not as bad as some other places that are totally backwards and still in he 1800s.
I'm not saying men are bad. They are also slaves under the current order in many cases. Good guys that actually have done nothing wrong. I'm saying there are some bad men and the current structure where males are valued higher makes those bad guys worse.
