I'm a little bit hesitant to vote on this one.
If we're going off of the dictionary definition of sexism, then yes, men do experience sexism. It's somewhat few and far between in comparison to what women experience, but it's definitely there. Antikrist covered it pretty well - being forced to assume a masculine disposition when it's not natural to their personalities, being ignored as victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse, frequently losing to their ex-wives in custody battles, to name a few issues that men face.
So yeah, absolutely, they do experience sexism by definition, but I'm not sure I want to say yes on this one just because the reasons cited by MRAs and the like for sexism against men are pretty much BS. Most of them boil down to being refused sex, not being able to find a romantic partner, and being called out for sexist remarks. Very rarely is it brought up in 'red pill' discussions that men are victimized by domestic abuse nearly as much as women, or that men's identities are repressed as much as women's based on society's masculine ideal. Sadly, the evidence of sexism against men brought up by MRAs generally becomes the staple argument as opposed to what is presented by the rest of us.
In short, in agreeing with this, I'm not sure if I'm siding with the sane, rational definition of sexism against men or the overblown Reddit rendition, so I'm fence-sitting for now.
