I can think of a few ways they continue to be discriminated against:

- More likely to be the victim of a rape. - Representation in the media. http://bechdeltest.com/

I'm sure there are more that a better feminist than myself could share with you.

And men are more likely to get knifed. It's not about competing to see who can be the biggest victim and win the most stuff out of sympathy.

I agree that it's not about competing to see who can be the biggest victim. I doubt most women wish to be victimized in any way at all. Nonetheless, considering women have been oppressed by men historically and still are in many countries in the world, it seems like a lot of confidence would be required to assert that we have fully eradicated such systemic oppression here. It would require a level of confidence I do not have.

How do either of those statistics indicate the existence of discrimination?
