Female privilege is very real


I support sexism, so I support females having privilege.

Being a female is a privilege by almost all statistics. Boys live shorter lives, have more suicides, are much more likely to die in accidents, are more likely to get murdered, are more likely to be incels, more likely to experience physical abuse, getting circumcised...ect.


And this is not something to be upset about. Women are supposed to live better lives. Its sexism.

Everything you listed is generally caused by men, not women. That's not female privilege, so much as it is self-imposed consequences of a patriarchal society.


If I shoot myself in the foot, my idiocy doesnt make you privileged.

No, it is caused by some men to all other men. And the incel part is pretty much caused by women. As for accidents, parents protect girls more than boys.

If someone is dumb enough to shoot himself in the foot willingly, surely not being that someone is a privilege.

It's not self-imposed if the men doing the murdering aren't the same as the men being murdered. And women can contribute to patriarchy, because it's just used to mean gender discrimination, regardless of who is doing the discriminating. Also, I don't think the term privilege has something to do with whose fault something is. Like white people today are still said to be privileged even if they had nothing to do with slavery or segregation.

Even if it was self imposed, it wouldnt negate privilege.


Maybe suicide is self-imposed, but its still a privilege not to be a suicidal person.


Maybe poor choices are self-imposed, but it is still a privilege not to be a person who makes poor choices.


But almost nothing I mentioned was entirely self-imposed by individual experiencing it.

Yeah, females in certain situations do usually have more privilege than males do. I think it just depends on what specifically we’re talking about. For instance, in the justice system, a female beating a male up vs a male besting a female up is going to spark much different reactions. The female beating up the male might even get a lower sentence than with the male beating up the female. I believe this is due to the fact that the majority of females are not as strong as males, so when a male is seen beating up a female, it sparks stronger reactions because females are often seen as powerless and weak. It’ll often be seen as ‘overdoing’ it or using too much force when a male beats on a female. However, if we are talking about the workforce, males have a higher advantage than females do. Technically, this could be countered by someone simply saying that females have higher job openings compared to males, but if we are looking at who is more likely to get job promotions, the males still have an advantage in that aspect. So in actuality, both females and males have privileges in certain areas.

Caused by man...where is the disagreement?

Being undesirable as a mate is a personal problem.

Boys are encouraged to be aggressive, tough, dominant, etc. As a result, boys are involved in more risk-prone behaviours and more accidents.

Okay, 'self-imposed' is not an accurate description, but clearly this is a male issue and not an example of feminine privelege.

Yes, youre right.

Then there's the child custody and child support bias women are favored


Men being murdered more


If men are shooting other men in the foot, id still say women are privileged to not have to deal with all that

Not true of all global societies Remy.


But nonetheless, in all societies the base urge of the Male is mating, and in what we might term as liberal western societies if you're going to get your leg over and deposit your seed, then the girls hold all the aces and they've learned to take advantage of the fact.

That is due to patriarchal standard which places women in a caretaker role.

Im not sure.how this translates to female privilege. Why are men murdered more?

In self-imposed part.

Okay. How does men being murdered more translate into female privelege? If anything this reflects one benefit of a decidedly negative paternalstic standard that women are weaker and less capable.


It is a privilege not to be undesirable.


Women face huge societal expectations regarding a contradictory 'curvy and fit' standard. Between 70% and 90% of women struggle with body dissatisfaction.

Women have lower chance of being murdered. That's a privilege.

Thats not the whole picture. Chances of being murdered for man or woman are extremely low, but women consistently have to face gender wage gaps, underrepresentation in leadership role (corporate and political), and unequal unpaid expectation of care of others. Not to mention, nearly 1 out of every 2 women (44%) have experienced sexual assault.


A lot of men struggle with body dissatisfaction too, and penis size. But the difference is, women are generally more desirable than men.


A much lower percentage of men are dissatisfied with their body (as low as 20%). Men are happier with their bodies than women.


It's men who are most often incels.


Incels are *voluntarily* celibate because they value undesirable traits (like misogyny and entitlement to sex) over a relationship. That is simply cause and effect and has little to do with women. An abusive entitled partner isn't appealing to most healthy people.

these are small disadvantages


they still live longer than men, and generally have easier lives.


Right, because inequality and abuse is the hallmark of privelege. <sarcasm>


this is not a necessary truth. Women have higher standards than men. there are plenty of crazy women out there, and abusive women, who still get relationships. And funny enough, abusive men also get relationships if they are good looking.

It has nothing to do with man's mentality as much as it has to do with women's mentality. A standard of average woman literally excludes over 30% of men as potential partners, and for traits which are unchangeable or very difficult to achieve. Also, boys are about 4 times more likely to have autism or other conditions which make social interactions difficult, while women generally dont even need to try much in social interactions.

So yes, if women set standards which most men cant reach, its not really man's fault that woman controls access and sets standard which excludes him.


Most men (60%) AND most women (65%) are in relationships. If the problem were female mentality, then there would be a much greater disparity between these numbers. This also refutes those 'unreachable' standards.

Men face a lot of abuse too, especially physical abuse which is most common towards boys.

Yes, but this isnt an apples to apples comparison. Men have societal advantages over women and much more ability to change it. For starters, they could hold other men accountable for pedophilia, child abuse, trafficking, etc. Thats not happening enough, and many abusers are being protected by the men around them.


As for inequality, men have it much more difficult to get sex, which is why much more men are involuntary virgins and lonely


Sex with other people isnt a right. What you're calling inequality has no significance to someone who doesnt enjoy the same rights as others.
