Is sexism ok as long as it is anti-male?  |
It depends on whether you define "sexism" as "bias based on sex" or "oppression based on sex."
Virago has bias based on sex; it only publishes books by female authors. It does not contribute to oppression based on sex; male authors are in no way disadvantaged by not having access to Virago.
It is possible that male authors of romance novels are subject to sexism; male authors of "literature" are not.
