I tried to convince a friend such a thing as "White Privilege" existed

47. No, it's an almost cartoonish like ignorance. Male privilege exists in such vast quantity...

that you would truly have to be a misogynist and a fool to think that it isn't a problem.

Women get paid less. They are less likely to be promoted. They are more likely to be judged by their work peers based on their physical attractiveness. Assertive women are viewed as bitchy or uppity rather than determined. They represent only a small fraction of positions held in congress. They make up less than one percent of company CEOs and less than 13% of all company executives.

They are required to work within the confines of the double bind. If they have a job outside the house, they have a job inside. So they come home only to begin a second shift. Women who do not stay home with their kids are called abusive, uncaring, or negligent. Poor single mothers are vilified as irresponsible moochers while poor single fathers are deified as the perfect man making a sacrifice for his children.

Female bodies are chopped up and airbrushed into oblivion to meet impossible standards of beauty. They are perpetually reduced to sexual objects by the public and in private. They are perpetual victims to physical and sexual intimidation by their male counterparts. Sexual violence against them is cast off as funny or insignificant.

If women are open with their sexuality, they are called whores. If they are reserved with their sexuality, they are called prudes.

They possess very little control over their bodies and the control they don't possess is handed over to all male regulatory committees.


So give me a break with your bullshit. Go peddle it somewhere else for a change.
