Discrimination
Health
In Australia men's health research receives one quarter of the funds of women's health research despite men having a higher mortality at every age. [1] In the UK the difference has been as high as 8:1.[2][3]
Bodily Autonomy
In most nations today women gain the right to bodily autonomy at birth. In an increasing number of nations this right is actively enforced for girls. Boys eventually gain this right too but the exact age at which this occurs isn't clear. We do know that boys in the United States still do not have this right at the age of five.

Disaster Response
The World Food Programme (WFP) only feeds women and girls. Many reports misuse the word proritize when an examination of the WFP's own writings on this topic make it clear that food is never given to men and boys. The WFP goes on to assert that men routinely take food from women, without offering any supporting evidence.
"It is our methodology to distribute only to women to ensure that food gets to women and children in Haiti," --Josette Sheeran, WFP executive director[4][5]
This strategy fails to cover families that lack female members, such as those who would have lost them in the disaster itself and male same-sex couples.[6]

Paternity
In the UK inclusion of the father's name on the birth certificate is subject to the mother's approval. Further, the father may not register his own child.[7]
Women in most nations have the right to choose not to be a parent. This right exists through the option to have an abortion, through the use of adoption or through the use of safe haven drop off points. Many jurisdictions allow the mother to use any of these options against the wishes of the father. In contrast, for men, consent to sex is consent to parenthood.
Women have always known that they are the mother of the child they just gave birth to. Only recently have men had the chance to truly know that they are the parent of a particular newborn. In some countries, such as France, paternity testing is illegal unless permitted by a court of law. The French do this to preserve the family.[8]
Vilification
In an increasing number of nations it is illegal to vilify someone on the basis of their gender. This right is not normally enforced for men.
