    No family circle, then I would skim through vanity fair. Then it would be Cosmo unless one of the teenage mags had a good cover story.

    Ah, cosmo, notoriously read by, and written for, feminists.

    What evidence is there that white male privilege exists?

    Oh I don't deny white female privilege exists too.

    But also I think the way we view female vs male statutory rape is an issue in itself.

    Hey, hey, hey, HEY. Speak for your own genitals, please. I take good care of the misses down there, including (but not limited to) keeping her smelling fresh all the damn time.

    Please don't get me wrong, I am in no way arguing for or against male white privilege. All I am saying is that from what I have observed, people who argue against feminism and its purpose have almost always been privileged white males.

    I think that one can reasonably conclude that people who have the money for expensive attorneys tend to get lighter sentences, or possibly that plea bargaining agreements lead to lighter sentences. While not addressed in the article, I think it's also fair to say that rape is generally an under prosecuted crime.

    I don't see evidence that his being white or male produced a lighter sentence. It's also possible that his being white and male was a factor in the press coverage and public outrage about his crime, since other cases of serious violent crime, also with light or no sentences, don't receive as much attention.

    In fact, what I've read on the subject indicates that women get much lighter sentences than men for committing identical crimes, including murder. That's a broad survey of criminal acts, not an observance of a single case, so it seems to be much more relevant.

    Back to the money issue. I think that one can reasonably say that based on the evidence, OJ Simpson was, and should have been convicted as being, the perpetrator of a double homicide. While one could argue that race privilege was a cause of the outcome, I think the most likely cause of the "not guilty" verdict was that he had the money for a "dream team" defense that out maneuvered the prosecution.

    I feel the objectification of women is pernicious and damaging in any society. I have done it often myself, and it is a hard thing to drag yourself out of. It is not necessary for human reproduction. I used to think that racism was the biggest inequality, but in fact sexism affects more people.

    Do you have an estimate of that great number? I'm curious how much it differs from the male culprits. Somehow I rarely hear about a woman raping a minor (so i'd think it happens but not that often)

    you hear about teachers maybe once a year on average, so that dosnt sound like a big number. the thing is...how many are reported. i know if my beautiful teacher was touching me in my special place, i would not be telling anyone because then she would stop.

    nah, if you follow the newsfeeds closely enough you get something like one a month or every other month from around the world. but yeah, young guys are not very likely to report these thing to authorities.

    you have an office job, you have not been stopped and searched, or otherwise harassed or considered suspicious for not being straight white and male, yes, you have privilege.

    That's what i often think too. The obvious conclusion is it must be much worse in their surroundings :p ... or they just happen to be affected by it much more than you or me (or just think they are). To a degree they can't see the objective picture anymore.

    Denying there's no such thing as white privilege at all (because some blacks get scolarships and there are trailer parks full of white people with mullets) is a great example.
