[Tumblr] Male Privilege is Putting Your Life at Risk for Others

Ah yes, typical feminist strategy: Whenever women benefit from something and men suffer, focus on how "insulting" and "patronizing" it is to women so you can pretend it's still the fault of "the patriarchy".

Well if we're going to do that...

Ever consider how the primarily-female human sex trafficking trade is actually sexist against men because it reinforces in them the idea that men have no sexual worth?

Or how the fact that men have majority representation in government is actually sexist against men because it reinforces a stereotype about men and leadership like the stereotype that all Asians are smart?

She came so close to having a legitimate and reasonable point and yet... http://i.imgur.com/fbatCvH.gif

If she doesn't want a seat on a life boat I'll gladly take it.

How is it that she can manage to deride the idea that women are less capable but in the same breath make men responsible for women's safety?

Did the same person write all of it? I like the first paragraph. I dislike the title, and I really dislike the "mod note".

There are serious disadvantages (as well as advantages) to being treated like a child. So paragraph#1 gets full marks from me.

I feel the title is wrong/misleading. You could argue that many male privileges are related to the idea that women are like children. But saving women first? That's female privilege.

The mod note? That seems like a fabrication and an expression of hatred. I've seen studies show that more men than women survived in several disasters. Is there any evidence that men shoved women out of the way? Maybe the men were simply stronger swimmers?

WAT

I mean either this is satire, which is highly likely or it's justy the typical tumblr absolutely bananas crazy type

The actual post was okay. I can understand that train of thought. It's the Mod Note at the bottom that gets me. Wat?

That mod comment conflicts with the original post something awful, women and children firs is sexism, even though it doesn't exist?

Female privilege is now male privilege... What? Is this a troll or is this bitch serious? Does she not know that women and children were first because the children were the next generation and women could carry that next generation so men vlaued them more than themselves. It wasn't because "women were seen as childlike in their usefulness".
