It's all circular logic, because feminists begin with the presumption that males are privileged / females are oppressed without actually proving the original assumption. The whole thing sounds like:

Asker: "Don't females have privilege, because of these social advantages?"
Feminist: "Those social advantages don't count as female privilege but instead are benevolent sexism against women, because females are not privileged"
A: "But how are females not privileged when they have these social advantages?"
F: "Because those social advantages don't count, since females are not privileged"
A: "But on what basis can you assert that they're not privileged in the first place?"
F: "Because they don't have social advantages"
A: "But I just listed a bunch of social advantages here"
F: "Those don't count because women don't have privilege"

The Finallyfeminism101 blog is self-evidently idiotic. It's a fine example of how feminists think, however.

There's your title gore right there.

White women: the most entitled overall demographic of human beings on the face of the planet.

Ideally, the top space should be a title that reflects the issue - not a link. The link should go in the text.

This makes it easier for readers to understand the topic of your post, and also makes it possible to click on the link directly.

Cheers!

It's a round-about way of saying that "capitalism is sexist" because the power-structures reward those who actually produce goods and services, rather than "feminine" attributes like being a carer or "emotional labor."

"Equality" in their mind would be like a mother being paid as much as a CEO or something, because they both "manage" something but one gets paid for it and the other doesn't.

The counter-argument to this is that the idea of "male privilege" is actually sexist against women, because it assumes that women can't be successful under a Capitalist system, or that the capitalist system is inherently "male" or "white."

The charge is that everyone on the planet is being forced to comply with western eurocentric system of economy, commerce and government because there is no way that a tribal, communistic or non-eurocentric system can compete against it, at least not materially.

It's a fair criticism but what the fuck is the alternative?
