All About Male Privilege


Someone wrote a post entitled "all about male privilege" - a post about "how guys have it easy", and I somewhat disagree with the main points of her post.

Not that I don't think guys have it easy... Biologically, anatomically, physically they do. In my opinion.

The male privilege is...
- Not having to have a uterus that refreshed every month.
- Not having to go through the love / lust ordeal of losing their virginity
- Not going through the skin ripping pain that is child birth and the horrible side effects that come before that when pregnant
- Not going through menopause and dealing with yet more hormone imbalances and hot flushes

But her points were ridiculous stupid.

Her post results in pointing out stereotypical characteristics such as: "Male privilege is feeling entitled to go up and talk to a woman about anything while anywhere at any time, even if they haven't expressed any interest, and continue onward despite a lack of a response."

Really? Is that what male privilege is?

Flip the gender roles around and the same can be said of women.

This is sexism at its finest, written by a bunny boiling mad woman.
