This is what male privilege looks like

[MrScorpio]

I'm sure a lot of smart women of substance recognize this scenario first hand:

[msongs]

1. lol sterotypes women as all offering witty/insightful contributions nt

[Duer 157099]

2. What's interesting is that within the science field

it's not at all like that, at least from my experience.

[femrap]

3. I've been seriously thinking of

getting a mustache/beard and doing my errands as a man. I have a low voice. And wear a hat. Could be fun and insightful.

I watch as men seem to get better customer service and respect.

Women over 50 are invisible....

8. Depends what business is involved

I work in the electric power business - almost exclusively a men's club. My wife is in the pharma business - much more balance between the sexes there.

Women could too, if they wanted to

11. I hate when websites put their watermark on things they didn't create.

It's disrespectful to the original creator.

12. My wife has been teaching teaching a science course and she feels respected by those in her

department.

My wife also likes star gossip, feminism, purses, vaginas, Twilight, science, shoes, art, diseases, and women's butts (she's bi). She will tell me about some crazy science thing I don't understand one moment, and then laugh at her own farts the next. She has many dimensions.
