Being female is privileged?

Question

Labour pains and menstruation cycles aside, do you agree that being female leads to a safer, more comfortable, easier life? You're less likely to be a victim of violence, you can cry openly without feeling ashamed, you can ask guys to lift heavy things for you, you don't have to fight your way to the top or prove yourself to earn respect.

Answer 1

I think it's quite the opposite that men are more privileged.

Using your examples:

1. Women are more likely to be victims of rape and domestic violence as well as other related crimes like stalking, sexual abuse, incest.

2. Crying openly is attributed to hormones and being over emotional during your period (even if if you're not menstruating)

3. I don't need guys to lift heavy things for me. Women have a large amount of strength in their upper body.

4. Women always have to prove their worth, particularly in the job market. There have been many studies done about how women are afraid to ask for raises or that they may be judged differently for having children when applying for jobs.

Answer 2

I absolutely agree with "penpaller" on this one. May be you are a man and hence the grass looks greener on the other side of the pasture.
Labor pains and mensturation are in fact, the easiest of the things for us in life.
We are victimized mentally, verbally, sexually, physically and in all possible ways. No matter how openly you cry, there is no help available.
When we actually need help to lift things, guys are never around.
I guess you are talking about a very ancient civilization where in women sat at home and men worked. Right now, women work and fight their way to the top, shoulder to shoulder with men and get paid less and harassed at work too as an incentive !!
To sum it all up...being a woman is a CURSE and a thankless job. For the fear of having a baby girl and making her suffer through the life just like me and having a boy, he will be ill treating girls the same way so I have decided not to have children.

Like many ladies and exceedingly lots all feminists you have what's called a solipsistic techniques. Solipsism skill an "extreme preoccupation with and indulgence of one's emotions, needs, and so on.; egoistic self-absorption." while utilized to psychology it skill which you won't be able to think of that any one else's difficulty could be distinctive out of your guy or woman. consequently, because you suspect you haven't any longer any privilege then lady privilege for all ladies does not exist. it extremely is a solipsism. That mentioned, it extremely is the luxurious of the privileged to no longer know their privileges. Your existence might certainly be difficult and unfair yet i will assure you which you rejoice with privileges that adult males could in no way acquire. How might desire to you recognize otherwise without attempting for a 2nd to think of the existence of a guy? This of direction could ruin the cardinal rule of being a feminist--empathy. however, under is a itemizing of a few ninety seven lady privileges which you will have skilled or will some day. Avail your self of this record in case you somewhat desire to appreciate or stay an ignorant whiner who performs the sufferer card for sympathy.

I am glad you think so. Every woman executive that I know has had to prove herself in about 15 different ways compared to their male counterparts. Fight your way to the top? Yeah right, ever heard of the glass ceiling? Everyone must prove themselves every day to earn respect, that is just the way it goes. As far as that victim of violence goes...
Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime.
Nearly one-third of American women (31 percent) report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives, according to a 1998 Commonwealth Fund survey.
Nearly 25 percent of American women report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, conducted from November 1995 to May 1996.
While women are less likely than men to be victims of violent crimes overall, women are five to eight times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate partner.
Women are seven to 14 times more likely than men to report suffering severe physical assaults from an intimate partner.
Pregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause, and evidence exists that a significant proportion of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners.
And as far as crying. If you dare cry, get upset, act like you know ANYTHING or nothing, or fight your way to the top of the ranks... you are a bitc%, on the rag, having your period, need some Midol, or any other amount of insensitive annoying comments about your being a woman. IT is rediculious.
If you think this is a life of privilege, you need to think again. Maybe from where you stand but where I am, I think these statistics SUCK.
