Male Privilege

[Nikia]

146. I think that it is incorrect to say that 50% of the ruling class is female

Obviously 50% of high level politicians and business people are not female. Sure most of those men are married and it can be assumed that they have children of both genders at a similiar level than the rest of the US population. Those women might live in a nice house, wear nice clothes, can have most material possessions that they want, and take part in expensive hobbies. That does not necessarily translate into power or privilege in other forms. For example, in many "Royal" societies, men always have preference in successsion. It is not just kings of the countries, it is often the case in business as well. Even when the family does not own the company, the patriarch is usually more likely to mentor his son(s) than daughter(s).
The role of the rich wife can be a not so good position to be in, especially if she doesn't have her own money. She knows that she can be traded in for a younger model and be left with relatively little economically. She may feel powerless to influence her husband in any meaningful way or even spend money on anything other than things that make her look higher status. It may be acceptable to her husband for her to spend money on expensive clothes or salons but not donations to organizations that she values or even children from a previous marriage.
A higher percentage of women married to powerful men are not in the workforce. While not having to work can be seen as a privilege, it can also be not so good of a thing for the reasons in the paragraph above and also the fact that often it is their job to do everything for the enhancement of their husband. They look pretty so their husband can look good. They work with charities of their husband's choice so that their husband can look good. They host fancy parties so their husband can look good. His success is tied to her success.
Real privilege is the opportunity to do what one wants with one's life without others inhibiting it because of one's group status. Yes there are other groups besides gender where this is the case. While some privileged daughters may have this more than most other Americans, in many cases they are held back by sexism, often in their own families.
