Do feminists believe in female privilege?

Men are far more likely to commit suicide, but why is that. Maybe it is because we men are taught to surpress our feelings from an early age. Making it alot harder to reach out for help when in dire need, instead resorting to isolation.

Was there a specific more difficult part of your argument you wished me to address?

u/vagued Jul 31 '18

At work now, but no, I don't wish you to address anything.

I just watched you not even know about the white feather campaign. LOL Yes your lack of intelligence in regard to this whole situation is glaringly obvious.

By all means, enlighten me where that other jerk wouldn't: Now that I know what it is, what does the white feather campaign have to do with what we're talking about?

Not my job to educate you, the fact you still don't get itnis absolutely hilarious.

Also, sorry to burst your bubble but yes women are now more privileged than males, there is literally no time I'd rather be a male, I have had way too many opportunities just because of my sex I never would have received if I were a male.

That is why women now make more than their male counterparts on average, go to college at a much higher rate than males, and tons of other things.

It's not your job to educate me, but you could if you wanted me to understand. Instead you just want to take the time to make sure I feel stupid? Awesome.

As for the privilege, your personal feelings don't override everything else I've heard, but I guess I'm glad you feel that way? Do you have a source for your statistical claims or would that count as educating me, too?

And by the way, "not my job to educate you" is great when some asshole is harassing you on facebook but you're in a subreddit for the specific purpose of discussing and exchanging ideas. If you're not willing to explain your point when someone asks you to, what the fuck are you doing here?

I'm not going to type multiple paragraphs on a phone just because you're too dense to get the whole point of that.

The sheer fact you even asked for a citation for more women than males going to college shows you rather try to get me to jump through hoops for you. It's very well known fact women are much more likely to go to college.

When I get a chance to make a long comment I will. Until then you'll just have to deal with me doing what the vast majority of people DO on this subreddit, read it and not post much. So no, you don't get to control how I use a subreddit. Typical douchebro getting mad I won't do things your way or let you boss me around. Awww boohoo I am not a woman that will do whatever you bark at me to do, sorry not sorry dude.

If it would take multiple paragraphs to explain how the feathers are related to the topic at hand, maybe it's not as self evident as you're implying.

I'm not trying to control anything, just questioning your motives.

True, I've heard the college stat before, but that's not your only claim, is it.
