Unless the source specifically states female privilege, any inference made becomes independent research, thus it can't be cited.

You want to know why? Read this deleted Wikipedia article: http://powernpraise.com/Krazie316/Thomas_James_Ball.htm

So the answer to your question is that Wikipedia is run by feminists, and they actively attack anything that doesn't float their boat. For example, the "apex fallacy" page disappeared a while ago (in case you don't know, the apex fallacy is the logical fallacy that feminists commit when they say, "all the politicians and CEO's are men, therefore men have all the power in society." It is fallacious because it both assumes that men with power act in the interests of men as a group--they don't--and it ignores the fact that men also make up the lion's share of he bottom rungs of society). Scarily enough, I can't even find the deletion page for "apex fallacy."

The men's rights page is like an advance fort, besieged by massive requests for more citations and better citations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_rights

I think you know your answer already. Female privilege does not exist. At least not seen through the lens of today's dominant ideology. "Female privilege" is a stark contrast to the feminist approved narrative that women are worse off in every way than men, and as such is generally ignored in any forum dominated by feminists. If it's not ignored, it will be painted as some kind of hair brained just dessert, a reaction to male privilege.

It's a difficult conversation to have, to be sure.

Wikipedia is a lost cause.

For years MRA tried to create an article on Mens Rights only to have it constantly deleted due to a complete disregard for any evidence showed or just outright scorn for the fact we dared to question all the untouchable ideology of feminism.

When we finally did get it on wikipedia it was written about Men rights issues with referenced sources. It got changed over night to be from a feminist perspective about "male privilege" and was polar opposite to what it had been originally.

The chances of having a female privilege article on wikipedia is about the same chances as a snowball does in hell.

Because there isn't a single benefit to being female. Being a man gives you millions of awesome benefits and has absolutely no downsides. Durr, haven't you read feminist idealogy, jeez.

To be fair, the old female privilege page was garbage and was unsourced. I do think we can re-create this page and keep it good order but someone that's better at Wikipedia than I would have to put in some serious research time.

So Feminism doesn't acknowledge the existence of female privilege. Wiki's repeat removal of the entry is proof. Surely if sources on female privilege existed, wiki wouldn't keep removing the entry right?
