Really? No man has ever worried about where they parked? And yes, I know what you're talking about.
"I have the privilege of not having to worry about walking outside alone at night."
Really? This statement is downright homophobic, but I don't matter because this is my first post and you're supposed to fall into line until you reach 10,000 posts, when you become immune to criticism.
"I have the privilege of not having to worry too much about how much I drink at parties."
Do you live in the woods? You've never been in anything resembling a city, have you?
"I have the privilege of not having to worry if what I say to a member of the opposite sex is misinterpreted as an invitation to pursue me."
Bullshit.
"I have the privilege of not having to worry about a culture and society that sexually objectifies my gender, to the point where some members of the opposite sex have seriously distorted views about members of my gender."
But Redqueen and Seabeyond don't have seriously distorted views about MY gender???
"And I have the privilege of not having to worry about politicians and pundits basically blaming me if I get raped, or otherwise dismissing the feelings of fear, trauma, and anger that people of my gender who experience rape have."
Another homophobic statement. Misogynist too. Men raped by men are either ridiculed or COMPLETELY IGNORED 99.9% of the time and you fucking know it!
