Male privilege

nrjk · 2014-10-06T12:26:50+00:00

All I'm seeing in this picture is rich white guy in a suit and tie who probably controls everything. I bet those three females are his slaves objectifying themselves only for his pleasure. Oh, and what's with that invisible homeless guy near those oppressed female slaves?

My point highlights a couple of things: The richest, most powerful men are only seen by patriarchy theory and their lifestyle and attitudes are thrust upon ALL men while the homeless man on the left is far more common. Comparing the average man to kings and dictators throughout history is like proving women have had it easy by comparing women to queens and. Women will ignore a lower value male one a higher one steps in the room.

Furthermore, the blatant ignoring of the man on the left is a result of an almost puritanical/religious belief that he deserves his situation because he's a "creep" and his poor choices are purely his fault. This somewhat mimics many older social conservatives attitudes that if people are morally corrupt, then that is the reason for their poverty. It also implies that the man on the left is deserving of his situation because of the past transgressions of men like the guy in the suit (à la original sin).

Ugh, what a horrible post. This is nothing but sensationalism. You could do the exact same thing by finding a homeless woman:

The kind of 'equality' the lamestream media don't want you to see... female privilege is being worshipped like a goddess while homeless men are starving around you !
