16. Some Special Notes
We know that victim can be anyone but in India discriminatory
attitude towards men and women have existed for generations and
affect the lives of both genders. Although the constitution of
India has granted men and women equal rights, gender disparity
still remains.
There is specific research on gender discrimination mostly in
favour of men over women. Due to a lack of objective research
on gender discrimination against men, it is perceived that it is only
women who are suffering. The research often conducted is
selectively sampled, where men are left out of the picture. Women
are perceived to be disadvantaged at work, and conclusions are
drawn that their capabilities are often underestimated.

17. Discrimination towards men
Judiciary discrimination
• There are many laws including 498a, false
rape laws etc., favoring women to greater
extent. If a man files a rape complaint, its
not considered as rape, since rape clearly is
for men and not for women. If a woman
rapes man then court cant punish her.
Breach of promise of marriage
• This is considered as rape by many High
courts. Only in the Honourable Supreme
Court of India, one might expect justice, by
then half of the guys life would have gone
for a toss.
And there are many more for ex 

18. How to deal with it
• One should know about the laws against sexism.
