Neo-sexism? Maybe?

I find the issue of gender equality intriguing with many complains of unequal treatment, not in nations like Afghanistan or Pakistan where Woman's Right is not that respected. I'll focus my area on modern country like Japan and Sweden. I'm not being sexist here, but just showing how what called "gender equality" had gone in the pursuit of it.

You guys might had often heard about rampant train groping in Japan. There is a lot of such cases is not a fact, but something made up by the women to extort money from the so called "groper" or just some misunderstanding. Once a man is accused as train groper (also known as chikan), he is assumed to be guilty unless proven innocent (You are in deep shit if someone suddenly accuse you doing it). It is not that easy to prove yourself innocent given that most of the incident happen when the train is so full that you will feel like squashed orange inside (how the camera can show your where your hand is). It is true that police had given male passengers advice on how to prove their innocence by holding the rails with both hand and put the baggage above the seats (but please, at that time the train conformed to be so full that putting your baggage above the chair might cause you to miss a stop and there might be no space for you to hold the rails). It is true that there is women only carriage in Japan, but interestingly they are underused. Recently men are complaining the transportation authority about the missing men only carriage. What was their reason for complaining about it? It was about high frequency of wrong accusation.

I think that this applies to many country. Women are not to be charged of raping men unless underaged boys even if the men don't give consent of doing  XXX (only rape not other kind of crime might be related to raping, such as kidnapping or torture). Even our senior who currently doing his service as police tell me this. If woman rape man, the man can't bring the woman to court, since to do it the man's XXX must be XXX so the man's XXX XXX is a sign of consent (get the reason?) but if it is the reverse, there is a high chance the man will end up in jail (if this is the way women can get away from being charged of raping, why men can't use similar argument?).

Recently, there is an outrage among otaku community, because of what? Ban in loli. Even though previously the ban was cancelled there is a new surge of activist who wan it to be banned, not long after a group of feminist who call themselves Equality Now (ironically they are not advocating equality but over-protection of women that will make man in deep shit if a woman decide to bring him to court even if there is no sufficient evidence. What is more stupid is that they advocate protection of non-existent girls in manga, anime and games after they failed to protect real girls in those traditionalist states like the Arabs where women might be treated as property.) I wonder why they only advocating the protection of loli characters but not shota when both are quite often used in echi. What I can't believe is that even UNICEF stepped in to pressurize Japan to ban loli, but not shota.

If you notice it, the law of of the nature itself is sexist. Men are physically stronger than women but it doesn't mean that men are superior to women. Without women, the humankind will perish. Strangely in some animals, we can witness female only organism or virgin birth. Certain species of reptiles are female only. Some sharks had been witnessed giving virgin birth. Maybe there will be one day women no longer need men, even for preserving human species, but it will be a long way to go. The day of men and male dominance is numbered. The Y-Chromosome in men are slowly disappearing, scientist predicts that if the rate goes on, men will be no more in thousands years.
