YOU CAN ONLY BE SEXIST TOWARDS WOMEN! - Says Feminism

The Fantastic Skeptic: This video had been in the works for a while and I'm responding to the claim that "you can only be sexist towards women/only sexist when men do it," which has been made by several feminists (including one in particular who's an interesting case) I think any rational would say equality is a great thing, but modern feminism (at least the group that calls themselves feminists on the internet) poisons the well by spiting on men with this baseless claim, while ignoring the fact that sexism DOES happen to both sexes. No gender should get special treatment over the other (although admittedly, men's issues are ignored by the lame-stream media) and is essentially an argument from ignorance.
Let's face it: if sexism exist, then some feminists need to accept that sexism happens towards men, just as misogyny happens to women. I'm sure there are MANY others who can provide other instances where men are discrimination, just as when women are discriminated, which is why I encourage you to participate in the comments section and debate on the matter (as I did not get into every subject I wanted to discuss, aka male disposability, child custody, male suicide). In essence, the feminists making this claim are not only coming across as boneheaded, but they're doing a disservice to women everywhere and women's rights.
