This is what male privilege looks like |
|
I'm sure a lot of smart women of substance recognize this scenario first hand:

3. I've been seriously thinking of |
|
getting a mustache/beard and doing my errands as a man. I have a low voice. And wear a hat. Could be fun and insightful.
I watch as men seem to get better customer service and respect.
Women over 50 are invisible....

I work in the electric power business - almost exclusively a men's club. My wife is in the pharma business - much more balance between the sexes there.

13. Some comments on "male privilege" |
|
1. Your last name stays put. Sometimes it becomes hyphenated.
2. The garage is all yours. No garage at my house
3. Wedding plans take care of themselves. No it my case
4. You can never be pregnant. Thank goodness
5. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water theme park. OK
6. You can wear NO shirt to a water theme park. I wouldn't mind if the ladies could wear no shirt
7. Car mechanics tell you the truth. Unless you are not from the area and you have a breakdown
8. The world is your urinal. Try taking a leak in public and see what happens
9. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. No comment
10. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. OK
11. Same work, more pay. Not in my case
12. Wrinkles add character. Not where I am-- they just get you called "grandpa" or "old man"
13. Wedding dress $1,000+. Tux rental $80. Why not rent a wedding dress, then?
14. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. OK
15. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. Not where I am
16. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. Obviously you've never worn men's hard leather dress shoes.
17. One mood all the time. Which would be, what?
18. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. It's usually the other party that ends the conversation in 30 seconds.
19. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. Nothing wrong with that
20. You can open all your own jars. OK
21. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. Not in my case
22. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Can't comment on that
23. Your underwear is $7.95 for a three-pack. Or thereabouts
24. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. Not "more than enough".. just "adequate"
25. You never have strap problems in public. OK
26. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. OK
27. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. But the hair doesn't
28. You only have to shave your face and neck. And get all sorts of nicks and cuts in the process
29. You can play with toys all your life. Women could too, if they wanted to
30. Your belly usually hides your big hips. Don't know what to say about that one
31. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. One wallet color-- fine. Different shoes for different occasions and different weather.
32. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. Women do, too
33. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. Say what?
34. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. Never tried that, but it sounds a bit of a stretch

11. I hate when websites put their watermark on things they didn't create. |
|
It's disrespectful to the original creator.

12. My wife has been teaching teaching a science course and she feels respected by those in her |
|
department.
My wife also likes star gossip, feminism, purses, vaginas, Twilight, science, shoes, art, diseases, and women's butts (she's bi). She will tell me about some crazy science thing I don't understand one moment, and then laugh at her own farts the next. She has many dimensions.
