Hah! Great point Zed.
Privilege 14 in a list of 56 Male Privileges that everyone takes for granted in a patriarchy, specifically America's.
14. Men are the Default Gender - Men are considered by society to be the default gender. Men are rarely ever targeted, stereotyped, or held liable because of their gender. This default status is the mental framework used by society to ignore male privilege and male favoritism. Men are simply seen as human. Women, on the other hand, are seen as the exception to the all the male-centric norms of society. Gender stereotypes are always present in the perception of women.
From "The Masuline Mystique."
"Movies?" Yup.
Everything? Yup.
This is just dawning on these "Wordsmiths" now? We are in just as much trouble as I thought.
Has anyone noticed that things aren't going so well in this unsustainable, violent insane society?
Thank you for your thoughts, Zed.
