"Another 101 Fact: There is no such thing as reverse sexism"

Every new generation gets a fresh dose of whatever the past one got its hands on. Too bad this one is getting a fresh dose of bull$hit instead of something patently more useful to them.

I wonder how many of these "new feminists" are actually studying something in college that will get them a job in an endeavor other than whining and complaining? Electrical engineering, maybe? Physics? Information technology? They can't ALL become women's studies professors, can they?

Well, they can try, anyway.

It is so tempting to post some counter arguments in the comments section of this article. There are SO MANY elements of female privilege that it boggles the mind, and keeps me awake at night.

But to what end? Simply to let these harpies know that we're here? The mere fact that this article was written is proof enough of that.

It might be fun to throw some facts that them, but I'm not so sure that is a good use of energy.

After being involved in the MRM for a while, I have come to the conclusion that we should pick our battles carefully. Far better to expend our energies to those that might listen: The younger generation of men and boys, and sometimes girls.

Trying to talk to a true believer in the 'sista-hood' is a waste of energy.

Apparently you have never bothered to use a dictionary.

sex⋅ism
  /ˈsɛksɪzəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [sek-siz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
1. attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.
2. discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; esp., such discrimination directed against women.

Women can be sexist. To argue that women don't have the power to back up their discriminatory attitudes is preposterous. There are female lawyers, doctors, CEO's, senators, astronauts, professors, and I could go on, but you get the point.

Female privilege checklist:

1.) I have a much lower chance of being murdered than a man.

2.) I have a much lower chance of being driven to successfully commit suicide than a man.

3.) In the event of an unintended pregnancy I can unilaterally surrender my parental responsibilities, or force the other party into parenthood regardless of his objections, unlike a man.

4.) If I choose to keep my child I have an 85% chance of getting full custody if I'm married, and an even better chance at full custody if I'm unmarried. Unlike a man.

5.) I will not be thrown in jail; after I have been assessed unreasonably high amounts of child support, that I am unable to pay; and that are a result of a child that I didn't want in the first place, that was created by an act of statutory rape or fraud. Unlike a man.

6.) I do not have to worry about paternity fraud. If I have a child then I can be sure that the child is biologically mine.

7.) I will never have to pay child support for a child that is not mine.

8 .) I will not be drafted into military service, and sent to my death, so my country can fight a pointless war. Unlike a man.

9.) I have a lower chance of being a victim of a violent assault than a man.

10.) In the event of a divorce I will most likely get the car, the kids, the house, alimony and child support. Even if I initiated the divorce or a selfish reason or no reason at all.

11.) If I become a housewife and stay at home I can expect to receive financial support after the marriage has ended.

12.) Due to anti-discrimination laws, if I compete against a man for a job, all other things equal, I'll get the job because it'll look good on paper.

13.) If somebody says something derogatory towards my partner, I will not be expected to risk physical injury to protect my partners honor.

14.) I can generally hit a man without fear of legal repercussions due to feminist sponsored 'Primary Aggressor' laws. If the man in question hits me back - he'll get the jail time.

15.) I can generally sexually harass men without facing legal repercussions or being disciplined by my employer.

16.) If I ever rape a child I'll probably get away with it, and I'll have a large percentage of the population commenting on how happy the boy must have been to have gotten 'lucky'. If I ever rape a man I'll certainly get away with it.

17.) If he doesn't orgasm when we have sex, it's his fault.

18.) If I don't orgasm when we have sex, it's his fault.

19.) If I divorce my husband it's because he's a bad person, and his malicious behavior drove me to it.

20. ) If my husband divorces me It's because he's a bad person, and he wants to abandon his family.

21.) My parents will probably be more loving to me and harder on my brothers.

22.) I am held to a lower social standard. If I get angry or sad, I can blame it on it being "that time of the month." Everyone will understand.

23.) If I like to spend money it's not interpreted as a character flaw, it's expected.

24.) If I have sex with a lot of people, I maybe labeled a slut, but that just means more people will try to have sex with me. Resulting in greater sexual opportunities in the future.

25.) I'm taught the skills necessary to make it on my own, but that it's okay to rely on others.

26.) I worry very little about financial practicalities or even being destitute. I can always find a man that will marry me and be expected to provide for me during and after the marriage. In the worse case scenario I can easily have unprotected sex with someone who is financially solvent, become pregnant, and receive 22%-50% of their income, tax free for 18 – 22 years depending on my locality.

27.) If a crime is committed against me, the punishment will almost always be worse than it would be for committing it against a man.

28. ) If I commit a crime, my sentence will almost always be less then it would be if it was committed by a man.

29.) Regardless of how much or how little I do around the house, I can usually nag my boyfriend/husband for not doing enough and he'll put up with it.

30.) If I make more money than my husband, people will think more of me and less of him.

31.) If I look down I can expect everyone, even complete strangers, to care and tell me to cheer up or smile. The'll do little extra things to try and make me feel better.

32.) I have probably been taught that it is acceptable to cry.

33.) I will probably live longer than the average man.

34.) Most people in society probably will not see my overall worthiness as a person being exclusively tied to how high up in the hierarchy I rise.

35.) I have a much better chance of being considered to be a worthy mate for someone, even if I’m unemployed with little money, than a man.

36.) I am given much greater latitude to form close, intimate friendships than a man is.

37.) My chance of suffering a work-related injury or illness is significantly lower than a man’s.

38.) My chance of being killed on the job is a tiny fraction of a man’s.

39.) If I shy away from fights, it is unlikely that this will damage my standing in my peer group or call into question my worthiness as a sex partner.

40.) I am not generally expected to be capable of violence. If I lack this capacity, this will generally not be seen as a damning personal deficiency.

41.) If I was born in North America since WWII, I can be almost certain that my genitals were not mutilated soon after birth, without anesthesia.

42.) If I attempt to hug a friend in joy, it’s much less likely that my friend will wonder about my sexuality or pull away in unease.

43.) If I seek a hug in solace from a close friend, I’ll have much less concern about how my friend will interpret the gesture or whether my worthiness as a member of my gender will be called into question.

44.) I generally am not compelled by the rules of my sex to wear emotional armor in interactions with most people.

45.) I am frequently the emotional center of my family.

46.) I am allowed to wear clothes that signify ‘vulnerability’, ‘playful openness’, and ’softness’.

47.) I am allowed to BE vulnerable, playful, and soft without calling my worthiness as a human being into question.

48.) If I interact with other people’s children — particularly people I don’t know very well — I do not have to worry much about the interaction being misinterpreted.

49.) If I have trouble accommodating to some aspects of gender demands, I have a much greater chance than a man does of having a sympathetic audience to discuss the unreasonableness of the demand, and a much lower chance that this failure to accommodate will be seen as signifying my fundamental inadequacy as a member of my gender.

50.) I am less likely to be shamed for being sexually inactive than a man.

51.) From my late teens through menopause, for most levels of sexual attractiveness, it is easier for me to find a sex partner at my attractiveness level than it is for a man.

52.) My role in my child’s life is generally seen as more important than the child’s father’s role.

53.) The value of my life is generally accepted to be greater then the value of a mans life.

54.) The man will be expected to do all of the work to initiate, secure, and maintain a sexual relationship; emotional relationship; or both.

Great list, of which I'm keeping a copy.

Thanks.

I posted something there too and I doubt they'll post either of ours. Your list is outstanding. Thank you.

The faulty assertion here is that women don't have power, when in fact they do. They have more power in most situations than do men.

The problem is, women often gain power by not having power--or at least pretending not to have power. A woman who needs help is irresistible to men and to male politicians, who rush in to help the poor woman. It's a dynamic that's been serving women for centuries.

And most male power is reserved for a few elite men, not the average Joe.

Institutional power

though you're right (so far), they haven't posted it. Actually all five of the comments on there sound like they're from feminist nut cases.

I will also be keeping a copy of your excellent list.

I can't say I'm surprised. People peddling such blatant lies, can't defend their position. So they just try to censor anyone who opposes them. I'm glad other people think that the list is useful. I can't take all of the credit though, it's a compilation of two other lists, which I edited and added to. Feel free to spread it far and wide.
