I am so irritated.
I have never been insulted at a catholic mass before.
This priest just made the claim that women are treated the best, better than men, in the Bible.
He proceeded to tell the congregation that women are incapable of planning, (he pointedly says mothers are unable to do so), that men study philosophy because they understand math and the abstract, while women only study psychology when they have their emotions invested in it. He also said that a woman NEEDS a man to BALANCE her emotions - once again directed at the mother father relationship!I have also never walked put of a service before, regardless of whether or not I believe, because I attend with my very catholic family. Even MY mother had a disgusted look on her face.
And I was having such a good day…
…and then you got a reality check on your female privilege for father’s day.
Boo Fucking Hoo.
These dynamics are but a few examples of the privilege which male people have.
Male privilege checklist
This list is based on Peggy McIntosh’s article on white privilege. These dynamics
are but a few examples of the privilege which male people have.
On a daily basis as a male person…
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.
With women now 40% of the household bread winners the odds of man getting a job over a women at all is now a 10% margin.
But lets examine that prestigious job. How many MEN do not have a chance of getting that same job? Oh… we don’t care about that.
The fact is the average women still has a much better chance of getting a prestigious job than 99% of the men who will apply. The job may go to a man, but there is NO CHANCE that job will go to man of a class significantly lower than the man OFFERING the job.
So it is NOT a MALE privilege… but a CLASS privilege.
Men are not allowed to jump class in society. But women CAN.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
2. If I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won’t be seen as a black mark against my entire sex’s capabilities.
This is completely untrue and backwards, and the claim reveals a total lack of male experience. If a man fails at a job or carear he might as well be dead. Men are not allowed any human failing. Black mark? More like BLACK BALLED!!!! Because men are disposable in society, a failure can easily be replaced.
If a Woman fails at the same job, she immediately shares the responsibility with the man who hired her. She can claim sexism as reason for her failure and will most likely be hired again in that job somewhere else BECAUSE women’s expectations in business are lower.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
3. I am far less likely to face sexual harassment at work than my female coworkers are.
Conversely, a male cannot “flirt” as a form of manipulation to get away with anything. So the trade off is the minor inconvenience of unwanted sexual attention in exchange for being able to sex as a tool.
Privilege… WOMEN!
4. If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job.
If i do the same job as a women there is no perceived ”achievement”. A women taking on the responsibility of man is inherently noble.
If a man does something traditionally considered to be “a women’s job”, it doesn’t matter how well it is done, he is still demeaned for having taken a job with less traditional risk.
Privilege =WOMEN!!!
5. If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be called into question.
Bullshit. If you don’t have children at a certain age, you are considered GAY. You are also at a hire risk of termination because of the perception that, as a man, you are better equipped to survive without a job. A single women is RARELY “Let go”. A married women has a higher risk of termination because of the expectation that a man will support her.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
6. If I have children and a career, no one will think I’m selfish for not staying at home.
No. You are considered selfish and irresponsible for staying home with your children instead of putting your work ahead of everything.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
7. My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious and powerful the elected position, the more this is true.
But they are almost NEVER of the same class. Once again your perception that men have some kind of bond shows a glaring lack of male experience.
Once again, a women’s ability to cater to the male ego through flirtation makes the odds of women getting access to elected officials astronomically larger that of any male not in that elected officials class.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
8. When I ask to see “the person in charge,” odds are I will face a person of my own sex. The higher-up in the organization the person is, the surer I can be.
Again… this assumes a male bond with strangers, rather than reflecting the fact that males are naturally more likely to confront each other in violent territorial encounters.
Privilege = WOMEN!
9. As a child, chances are I was encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters.
If you mean you were expected to be tougher and handle conflict with no expectation of safety… you are correct.
Only the wealthy class coddle their children… like women.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
10. As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often.
Chances are you were also punished harder for failure, and watched more carefully because of the perception that you were a higher risk of trouble.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
11. If I’m careless with my financial affairs it won’t be attributed to my sex.
…and no one will save you. A woman has an expectation that a man will come to her rescue if she messes up her finances. A man is just a failure, and expected to either rally of die, entirely on his own.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
12. If I’m careless with my driving it won’t be attributed to my sex.
No, there will be no excuse and you will face harsher punishment.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
13. Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.”
That is because men don’t do the labeling. Slut shaming and bashing is done, and enforced by WOMEN in society.
Men GLORIFY and WORSHIP sluts. This is the appeal of Porn fantasies. Women’s PORN is abou the women having control of the partner. Male Porn is about unconditional sexual acceptance wit no need to prove your worth.
I don’t know that I would qualify this as a privilege, but your projecting a female action on men that simply goes against the facts of nature.
14. I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability or my gender conformity.
You can send a message of unavailability by dressing in a more masculine manner, or as stated, use your wardrobe to flirt and use your sexuality as tool.
If a man dresses down, he is not taken seriously, if he dresses too well he is the taget for sabotage.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
15. My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than women’s clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a woman’s without tailoring.
You’ve obviously never had to buy a suit for work. It will also only be noticed if it falls outside the social norm, which will make you a target.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
16. The grooming regimen expected of me is relatively cheap and consumes little time.
This is again imposed and supported by women. A women can show up for work with no makeup and be accepted as a man. Of course then she looses all the advantage of being a woman.
17. If I’m not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.
Because you have NO sexual worth. You are something between meat and a lightbulb with all your worth determined by your function.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
18. I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.
No. We get called a prick or an asshole.
Bad manners are a privilege of class, not gender.
19. I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. “All men are created equal,” mailman, chairman, freshman, etc.
As a woman you are almost NEVER assigned a gender with your occupation. Nurse, teacher…
This is because women have inherent value as opposed to men who are valued ONLY by their occupation.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
20. My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is.
Right. Again men have no excuse for bad decision and therefor are held MORE accountable.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
21. I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or questioned if I don’t change my name.
You are also not expected to offer the protection to the extended family that this feudal tradition entails.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
22. The decision to hire me will never be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.
Your family issues are never considered. You are not a man, you are a tool for the job.
23. If I have a wife or live-in girlfriend, chances are we’ll divide up household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks.
You are also not expected to work yourself to literal death in order to provide the 30 to 70% your income controlled exclusively by women for household spending. That assumes a two income household.
If the male is the sole finical provider he gets to keep NOTHING.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
24. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, chances are she’ll do most of the childrearing, and in particular the most dirty, repetitive and unrewarding parts of childrearing.
Men are prohibited socially from those jobs by courts and social norms. House husband is still not accepted by most WOMEN.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
25. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, and it turns out that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids, chances are we’ll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.
Because SHE has the inherent right as women to choose weather or not to work. House husband is still not accepted by most WOMEN.
26. Magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media are filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are rarer.
70% of all marketing is targeted at women.
27. In general, I am under much less pressure to be thin than my female counterparts are. If I am fat, I probably suffer fewer social and economic consequences for being fat than fat women do.
Again… imposed by women. Super models are almost exclusively in fashion and women’s entertainment. Look at the bodies of most porn stars and they thick and curvy in response to the body image men actually prefer.
28. On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.
Because you are not allowed to freely communicate with women, and if you do her feeling are more important than yours, so you are not allowed the conflict level of communication expected among men.
Privilege=WOMEN!!!
29. I have the privilege of being unaware of my male privilege.
Because 90% of “male privilege” is really just responsibility that women REFUSE to take for “FEMALE PRIVILEGE”, and dumped on the disrespected shoulders of men.
what’s with this weird thought process
with lower middle class and impoverished dudes* thinking that when they say sexist and racist shit and make get back in the kitchen jokes they are somehow edgy and cool and fighting the power
NO YOU ARE LITERALLY REINFORCING THE RICH WHITE DUDES’ STATUS QUO AND AGENDA
like u r literally upholding people that keep you down
if u pretend to like it it wont get better
man FUCK UP SOME SHIT and re-examine your world.
*they aren’t the only ones, but i am thinking of a specific type of dude, that i don’t have a name for that often talks about being edgy, and different, they are usually grown up punk rockers and metalheads and people who weren’t into popular shit and liked to say things like “nonconformist”
YOU ARE LITERALLY REINFORCING THE RICH WHITE DUDES’ STATUS QUO AND AGENDA… When you date them, have kids with them, or worse… cheat with them on their “significant” others.
You abuse lower middle class and impoverished dudes by ignoring inconvenient facts like they are 3x more likely to DIE in any given situation, while rewarding the class of people you claim to hate the oppression of.
Who is REALLY doing more damange to the Status Quo?
11 Signs You’re A Misandrist.
11 Signs You’re A Feminist Misandrist.
1. You think no woman should be called a slut, but you’re all for and maybe even participate in slutwalks.
2.You want to ban pornography because it objectifies women but own a copy of “50 Shades of Grey.”
3.You demand men take ownership of their lives and whilst simultaneously blaming all your problems on the “patriarchy.”
4.You claim feminism cares about men’ problems too,but false rape accusations are irrelevant because you still believe 1 in 4 women will be raped in their lifetime.
5.You shame men for shaming other men who don’t agree with MRA issues but any woman who does not support feminism is automatically a “gender traitor” and “rape apologist.”
6.You believe men only think men become feminists is to get laid,but also that the only reason we tolerate female MRA’s is because we want to have sex with them.
7.You say things like “If you’re not a feminist,you’re a bigot.” Yet also say things like “Women have every right to hate men.”
8.You constantly tell men to “check their privilege” and that male privilege exists but most men can’t see it,yet refuse to acknowledge female privilege because……you can’t see it.
9.You find the idea of genital mutilation of a man being joked about on live television hysterically funny,but claim misandry doesn’t exist.
10. You assert that women are strong, independent, capable, never helpless or naive, yet it is society’s/men’s fault that women succumb to pressure in regards to beauty standards and other forms of peer pressure, implying that women are not possibly smart enough or strong enough to make healthy, intelligent decisions for themselves.
11. You claim that feminism accepts a woman’s choice to become a wife/mother/stay-at-home mom, and that feminism is fighting for a woman’s right to CHOOSE, yet you shame females who reject feminism by calling them ‘baby makers’ and ‘sex slaves’.

By the end of his or her childhood, a British boy or girl is much more likely to have a TV set in the bedroom than a father at home.
Our 45-year national war against traditional family life has been so successful that almost 50% of 15-year-olds no longer live with both their parents. At the same time we have indulged our neglected and abandoned young with electronics, so that 79% of children aged between 5 and 16 have bedroom TVs.
Thirty-seven men, 525 years behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit. Thanks to DNA testing, their claims of innocence have finally been proved—but what happens to them now?
Former deputy sentenced for false abuse claim
A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy pleaded guilty to falsely reporting that her ex-husband was sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
One year is all she is getting for this crime.
Buhhh… Buhhh… But that NEVER happens.
today in MRA land…
some little boy got his fee fees hurt and in response attempted to shut me up by threatening me via proving he had my ~personal information!~
because misogyny isn’t real
because men getting mad and reacting like this is totally acceptable
because women just need to shut up and never voice their opinions ever and if we do we need to be threatened
Oh. So he treated you EQUALLY to an MRA.
Boo Fuckin’ Hoo.
whenever I see those sparkly ~*~Misandry~*~ things and whatnot on tumblr I just got to think to myself
gosh dang it guys, the proper response to hate is never going to be hate!
you shouldn’t glamorize hatred! that’s terrible! Men don’t deserve hatred any more than women! it’s especially terrible because it’s reducing people to just their genders, when everyone is so much more than that!!generalizing groups in general is so dumb!!!
and what’s up with the passive-aggressive ‘kawaii’ sparkly banners and such? Can’t we all just sit down and at least talk this out maturely instead of resorting to name-calling and sarcasm?
I wish. But no.
As long as you have a group who benefits from the persecution, like women do, and a group whose death is irrelevant, like men, it’s going to next to impossible talk things out.
There is too much selfish interest in the status quo for misandrists and the 1% “Patriarchy” they claim to hate, but serve at every turn.
Makes a post about under appreciated mothers on FATHERS DAY and cries about being called on it.
Just pissed rn because i can’t even make a post about how motherhood is undersold and mothers are put to ridiculous standards and even when they meet them are still shat on or underappreciated, without people derailing and being dicks about it
it’s like
if i make a post about how all mothers deserve free foot massages and backrubs at their local spa and you come running in like WHAT FATHERS DON’T DESERVE THAT TOO? or THAT’S NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE UNDERLYING ISSUES OF PATRIARCHY just no. just stop. that’s not what my post is about
why must my every action be “solving patriarchy?” why can’t i ever vent about patriarchy or dream about certain beautiful things that would be better than patriarchy
just get off my blog if you expect me to constantly walk on egg shells around men or take on the burden of ending patriarchy all by myself in a tumblr post
There is no such thing as PATRIARCHY. You can’t solve for it any more than can solve the Boogeyman or Easter bunny, because its a fiction designed to allow you to benefit from the oppression of lower class men.
I absolutely just don’t understand misogyny. All you people out there have a mother, a daughter, a sister, a niece, a wife, some woman in your life you love absolutely and irrevocably. But you’re willing to let her suffer. You’ll let her suffer through rape without any support cuz she was probably dressed wrong, because women have to dress a certain way in order to be accepted as proper. You’ll allow people to not pay her the same or deny her the same opportunities men get. Why is that? You love this woman. Act like you deserve to be a part of her life.
I absolutely don’t understand misandry. All you people out there have a father, a brother, a nephew, an uncle, some man out there that you love absolutely and irrevocably. But you’re willing to let him suffer through rape without any support cuz he’s a man and should be able to protect himself, because it’s absolutely impossible for a man to be weak or scared at any given moment. You’re willing to let people stereotype him as gay because he’s not as manly as he should be. Why is that? You love this man. Act like you deserve to be part of his life.
On freaking fathers day tumblr feminists manage to turn this site into a feminist critique with perpetuating the stupid, overly-done sexist trope that all mothers are good and all fathers are bad and “shoutouts to single mothers and shitty dads”.
All over my dash I’m seeing posts about shitty abusive dads. Because single fathers obviously aren’t a thing and deserve credit for the amazing work that they have done because no matter what gender you are raising a kid alone is fucking hard work but nope.
The brilliant misogyny engrained in tumblr feminism is the constant bombardment of the assumption that all women always the victims at the hands of men (we’re not) are the most un-empowering thing ever.
where was the shoutout to dads, where was the shoutout to the kids with shitty moms when it was mothers day? Hiding behind feminism’s skirt that’s where.
I’m 100% done with your hypocrisy, tumblr.
What I hear when random men on the street offer “compliments.”
“From what I can see—which probably isn’t much—you appear to fit a narrow, arbitrary standard of attractiveness. Consequently, I am at least marginally interested in fucking you, and feel that you must be informed of my interest, regardless of what you want or feel. Wait, do you feel? Is that a thing? Ladies feeling things?”
What pre-recovery me heard:
-Starve until they stop.
-This is all you’re worth.
What in-recovery me says:
-I will kill you dead.
Post “Recovery”.

Unjustified hate does not equal “recovery”.
You should sue your psychiatric team.
When radfems dogpile you by the dozens, desperate to knock you down, you know you’re doing things right.
To any reasonable person, an insult coming from a radfem should count as a compliment.
