      #MansplainedSongs is the kind of childish "nyah nyah, men suck" bullshit that passes for feminism these days

      nothing to do with "men suck" just to do with systems in power in which internalised misogyny means men don't realise what

      Could the inverse be true, where women have power, internalised misandry, and don't realise it? If true, if false, how would you even know?

      No, I'm applying the same standard. And to say I'm doing damage is nothing more than claiming moral high ground in lieu of an argument.

      but you can't apply the same standard , that would be almost like saying black people oppress white people

      No, it wldnt. Black ppl don't have privileges white ppl don't. Women have many men don't. The right to genital integrity in the west 1/2

          You're likely to miss all that if you only focus on the ways women are disadvantaged or social problems they're more vulnerable to.

          I think this is a key point. Privilege discussions envision dis/adantage being unipolar; the framework alienates people classed advantaged

          Why do you think this? In US, UK? I wouldn't want to be a man. Mostly coz pressure to work full time & being evaluated on earnings.

          But also coz of expectation to be tall & strong & be able to fight tho I hope I cld ignore this like I do expectations of my looks & conduct

          From my perspective, what makes life worthwhile is doing what you love professionally & having much time to devote to family & interests.

          This is much more acceptable if you're a woman. A man living my life wld probably be called a loser & be unattractive to very many women.

          hmm... as a whole blacks are not more privileged than whites. But a rich black man has more power power than a poor white man.

          Economic privilege is the biggest one, yes. I'm protected above all by financial security & independence.

          Of course. Besides, rich blacks and rich women have the resources to address issues of discrimination.

          And a system which empowers this. It'd be very easy for claim to be discriminated against by gender & difficult to wash that mud off.

          ...as if women were incapable of lying to get their way. And I am saying this as a woman and an (old-school) feminist.

          "Privilege" is a nonsense concept with no explanatory power. http://bit.ly/1SGnZzA
