Dear Friends,
Not a few of our forum members have complained to us about the site All About Male Privilege. This Tumblr purports to be "about how guys have it easy". But even a cursory review of the site reviews that it is truly an insightful skewering of the endless culture of female complaint.
Let's see, who are the unjust beneficiaries of male privilege were we to -- against all common sense -- take this site seriously?
* Prince Harry for being photographed naked and shamed throughout the world -- yes, I'm sure he felt it was a great honor, to which no woman could aspire
* men who are inexplicably not penned up in brothels to be patronized by female buyers of sex -- how dare they? how can any woman hope to get a man to have sex with her? I mean, other than the fact that most men never think about anything else
* working guys who for no valid reason refuse to be groped on the job
* boys whose parents are less concerned about them being raped than their sisters after dark in NYC, and let them take the subway -- because, of course, men are just as raped as women, statistically
* boys who are -- how dare they! -- never criticized for their failure to cover their lady parts
* prudish men who dare to object when Netflix bombards them with gay porn but are perfectly willing for others who express interest to see it
* male job interviewees who heelishly get away with not wearing makeup
Blah blah blah fem naseum.

Can you imagine if the women of America were actually such fainting flowers that non-issues like this could get them steamed? I mean, even liberal feminists would never actually whinge about ridiculous piffle like this when women around the world face genital mutilation, capital punishment for minor infractions of arbitrary laws, and restrictions on daily life far beyond those which inflamed the female loin in 50 Shades of Whatever.
It's a satire. Of course. I'm chagrined to have to explain that.
Now, we could quibble with the ethics of this ruse. It is effective, a devastating critique of how feminism has degenerated into an incessant bray about what are, if they are problems, incredibly first world problems. But is it right for all these posters to impersonate the very rubes they oppose? I leave that for another day.
But, please -- and this should go without saying, but apparently not -- no need to take this seriously.
Yours in Him,
bab <----
