A situation—especially in courtrooms, HR offices, or other power-broker arenas—where a man ends up on the losing side solely because he’s a man, while the woman involved gains an advantage she likely wouldn’t enjoy if their genders were reversed. In short: the flip-side of sexism, starring the neglected Y-chromosome.

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
