45. Male privilege vs Female Privilege

Found on the internet....

Male Privilege:
1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed.
2. I am far less likely to face sexual harassment at work than my female co-workers are.
3. If I’m a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds of being raped are insanely low.
4. If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be called into question.
6. If I seek political office, my relationship with my children, or who I hire to take care of them, will probably not be scrutinized by the press.
7. My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex.
8. I can have sex with as many women as I want and won't be shamed for it. In fact, I will be cheered on.
9. I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability or my gender conformity
10. If I buy a new car, chances are I’ll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car.
11. As long as I have money, I dont have to be conventionally attractive to get attention from the opposite sex.
12. When I speak, chances are people will listen more carefully to my opinions than when a woman speaks.
13. I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or questioned if I don’t change my name.
14. I will likely make more money over my lifetime than a woman who does the same jobs.
15. The vast majority of movies and books will have my gender as the strongest, deepest, and most meaningful characters.


Female Privilege:
1. I’m under less pressure than others to engage in risky, dangerous and unhealthy behaviors.
2. I can choose professions that are less lucrative, and not be called a loser or "failing to launch."
3. If I am arrested and convicted of a crime, I will likely serve less time in prison than a man would for the same crime.
4. Family courts will generally view me as the better, more capable parent regardless of any other factors. And my role as a parent is generally considered more important than the father's role.
5. I can spend time with children and not be viewed with suspicion that I would attack them.
6. In a dangerous situation, not only am I not expected to risk my life for others, but others are expected to risk their lives to save me.
7. I am permitted to cry and openly display my emotions without being insulted for it or viewed in a negative manner.
8. My income, either high or low, will likely never be a factor in my dating life and relationships.
9. If I choose to become a parent, people understand if I want to focus entirely on the personal, day-to-day care and nurturing of my children. It is the responsibility of my spouse to make sure I have this choice and support whatever choice I make.
10. I can expect to pay a significantly lower premium for car insurance than a man with a similar driving record would.
11. I am significantly more likely to graduate from college than I would be if I were a man.
12. As a woman, I am more likely to live longer than the average man.
13. I am significantly less likely to be injured on the job.
14. If I shy away from a fight, I will not be considered weak by my fellow peers.
15. My country will never force me to fight in a war I don't believe in.
