Male Privilege

[polly7]

368. If you look back at these polls started here imo, to cause heated discussion out of their own group,

they're all loaded with the implication that women are really far down, nearly right at the bottom, when in reality ......... we've got more rights and recognition of those rights than ever before. This GOP war on women is going to fall flat on it's ass, imo, because it's only being used as an issue to get the radical fundie vote, and will fail. I take great issue with women who see themselves as sexual objects and do nothing to dispel the illusion that being female is being less than and catering to the ideals of men. I don't see it as men demanding us (except for the fundies and republican / conservative nuts who have no business in politics anyway and those sickos who corrupt at every opportunity whether it's with legalized porn or anything else ....... in which case, the law needs to be consulted). Where are these strong female role models, besides googling for information and using shock tactics to educate those of us who've already lived it and learned?

The 'patriarchy' exists right at the top, and is no means male only. Once we get rid of the inequality of economic superiority to the scale it is now, women, men, children of all races will begin to see equality. Education is key, with the co-operation of World Bodies recognizing the importance of the contribution of women. Here in Canada and the U.S., I just don't see the unfair advantages I keep hearing males have. I know I'm going against the popular opinion, but if women want to be seen as equal, then ... be. jmho.
