I'm not convinced men have it any easier than women. For all the suffering women face, they have just as much privilege. And for every privilege a man has, there's an opposing element of suffering.

White people? Sure, there's almost nothing that sucks about being white. The only possible downside is extremist minorities hating on you. And I suppose I'd have enjoyed a few scholarships on the basis of my race.

Straight people? Why would anybody choose to be gay? Being straight rocks, I won't lie. The only possible benefit of being gay is the intrinsic benefit that you might identify with or understand your partner a little more, which is hardly substantial in the face of the discrimination they face.

But men? No. Sure, men have really great in a lot of places in life. But most examples of "privilege" aren't men being elevated to some god-like status, but women suffering. Is the fact that men are rarely objectified in media really a privilege? Is the fact that men rarely get raped outside of prison really a privilege? Shouldn't that be how things are for everybody?

And even facing those elements of suffering, women have it phenomenal in western culture. They're generally assumed to be the superior gender (more logical, more intelligent than their oafish, violent counterparts). They're given much lighter sentences than men for the same crimes. They're afforded every courtesy (to the point where if a woman assaults her husband, he's the one who is arrested). How you could say women don't have a privilege is astounding.

That's my views on the subject.
