Gender inequality does not have to affect only women, although that is how it is often thought of.
Gender inequality is usually the result of stereotypes, which can be harmful to both parties. Just as stereotypes promote the idea of women being at home, taking care of the kids, they also promote the idea of men being the breadwinner and working. Women sometimes face discrimination at work, while men can face discrimination for being at home with their families while their wives work.
That is only one example, but any gender stereotype that promotes gender inequality affects both men and women and how they are seen.

Effects of gender inequality?
That's more a problem that's determined by the individual or group that is targeting the victim. It's not gender specific, it would have to be targeted toward the specific gender.
