reverse sexism
Anti-male bias claim
Reverse sexism is alleged discrimination against men by women or by systems that favor women.
The term is used almost exclusively by those who believe feminism has overcorrected, creating disadvantage for men: He claimed the hiring policy was reverse sexism.
Critics argue the concept misunderstands sexism as requiring systemic power structures that historically favor men, making "reverse" sexism conceptually incoherent.
The parallel term is reverse racism.
