Poll of the Day > Who has more "privilege" in America? Men or women? Especially dating.

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can include your own country if you aren't from The United States, but I'm mostly focusing on Westernized cultures.

Poll of the Day obviously inspired this.

When I ask people this question, things always get interesting. Of course....most guys will say women have more privilege. Women will always say men have more privilege. And a few people will require a breakdown of what kinda "privilege" I'm talking about.

Privilege can be interpreted a lot of ways, but I generally see it as the ability to do things freely, easily, comfortably, and happily in a society that has your back. Your pursuit of happiness....and how much easier it might be for you to acquire it vs. someone who is less privileged.

So what do you think? And why? Men or women? I'll give my own answer later, if anyone cares. I just don't want to start the conversation with bias.

All privileges are grossly over-exaggerated

Women have a lot more privilege (in this context) when dating, but are far too eager to throw it away at any moment.

For example, if a date goes bad - if a woman was earnest they could just say "you suck, eat a dishwasher tab and learn to not smell", but instead they'll weasel their way out out of some perception of politeness ... or WORSE, hook up with them out of some perceived archaic societal expectation.

I find it ironic that the left are vocal about discouraging making generalizations and stereotyping people, yet they seem adamant about pushing the notion of white, male, or cis privilege.
