Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
The first step to understanding privilege is recognizing the various forms and flavours it comes in. If you happen to be Asian and female, well, the fun(?) doubles as you get to deal with not only the misogyny, but the racism as well. Woo-haa! (Go to the tumblr Creepy White Guys for more examples.)
Just a few snippets of what women have to deal with:
And then of course, just to establish what a fine upstanding dude he really is…

I love it when assholes get shut down. That last aggressive remark is the hallmark of them admitting total defeat.

It’s funny how many arseholes are of the religious persuasion, especially ones that attempt to foist how they’ve been dogmatically bullied into believing absurd things. They resent the fact that *you* haven’t drunk from the poised chalice, and redouble their efforts to get the first sip down your throat.

That seems pretty harsh Syrbal, it seems that he is a Nice Guy though and they certainly deserve less opprobrium, not more…

I guess I’m in a harsh mood. I’m not getting sweeter with age and having been put on a few pedestals and when I didn’t obligingly flash my panties on demand, it was a hard fall from that height!

Harsher the better. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear enough with my last reply, sometimes sarcasm translates poorly. The whole Nice Guy thing is bullshite. It stems from men either being afraid or unwilling to be clear with their communications and not giving voice to their intent.
So rather than owning up to their lack of communications skills they blame the women instead. In the case of MRA foolishness, construct an entire mythology to support their failures to assimilate basic human behaviour.

A man puts women on pedestals so they’re easier to throw to the floor when they displease him.

Advocating violence against women doesn’t really fly here at DWR. Please stop.
