There are a lot of sexist trials and tribulations out there for females, some very very small (the cost of haircuts, dry cleaning) to very very large (the absence of women in power positions in our culture).

There are a lot of sexist trials and tribulations out ther for men too. Some are not very small (the cost of the first 4 dates minimum, dry cleaning).
Women also don't face the old lion in the workforce. This is something they never face, and therefore dont understand. Unfortunately it's never discussed because men having more troubles isn't PC. The old lion is the man who is past his prime, who sees any other up and comer as a threat. He has gone as far as he can and is upset that he didn't make it as far as he did. Therefore he sabatoges any man who he sees as capable.
This is tied in with another advantage women have that is never discussed. If a woman is successfull they are revered. If she fails in the workforce the prospect of becoming a housewife is almost equally respected. If a man fails in the workforce he is a deadbeat.
