This is an analysis of gender inequality that addresses how sexism affects both men and women. Special attention is given to the intersection of multiple oppressions, how the consequences of gender inequality can be compounded by racism, social class inequality, ageism, and heterosexism. Although it focuses primarily on women and men in the United States, international issues and data are incorporated throughout.
