“This is female privilege” is comedy gold! [UPDATED with links]
This doesn’t ever actually happen.
My new favorite terrible Tumblr blog is this is female privilege, a blog that posts user-submitted examples of, well, female privilege. It’s a pretty MRA-adjacent idea for a blog, seemingly designed to be appreciated only by those who can use the word “misandry” without giggling. The woman who runs the blog seems to be fairly MRA-adjacent type herself; she recently responded to one critic with a sarcastic “Wow waahhhh it’s so hard to be a woman wahhhh!” (Literally; that’s an exact quote.)
So it’s hardly surprising that many of the posts seem to have been cut and pasted straight from the Men’s Rights subreddit – at least figuratively, if not literally. (Click on the pics to see the posts in context at this is female privilege.)
But a lot of the alleged privileges are a bit, well, odder than that. The blogger says she posts everything she gets, so either a lot of people have pretty cockeyed notions of just what privileges are, or some feminists are trolling her blog by sending along the dumbest non-privileges they can think of to make the blog even more ridiculous than it already is.
Some suggest that biological differences are “privileges.”
Some of the so-called “privileges” are the results of traditional gender roles that box both men and women in:
Dude, if you want to shave your body hair, shave your fucking body hair. There are lots of guys who shave or wax.
Some are comically delusional:
Chance this last one was submitted by a guy: 110%.
Some are just kind of whiny.
You know, there’s an easy solution to this: wait for a fucking stall, like women do.
Some are kind of weird:
And some are just, well, beyond hope:
Seriously, if you see these things as female privilege, you really, really shouldn’t be talking about privilege in public on the internet. You’re just making a fool of yourself.
The one redeeming thing about the blog: people argue back in the “notes.”
EDIT: Another redeeming thing: It’s inspired the response blog Actually This is Male Privilege.
EDIT 2: Amanda Marcotte riffs on the one about women having the wonderful privilege of sex any time they want!

You think Tom Martin is so far over the edge he must be a feminist plant but then you start cozying up to NWO?
I see a lot of talk, a lot of mocking, but no evidence as to his alleged evilness. To the contrary, his posts that I have viewed seem cogent, reasonable and intelligent. Given the depths of slander that vile feminists and their lickspittle mangina toadies will sink to, I am reluctant to buy your characterization.
Steele, there are things you should know about NWO:
http://manboobz.forummotion.com/t454-nwo-s-big-book-of-learnin
Everything there is based on something NWO’s claimed, and if you ask him, he will continue to claim that “flouride” is a deadly poison, Russian and Spanish use the same alphabet, and women all run around in see-through miniskirts trying to arouse him and should be beaten in the street for this.
I know your next move is to claim “well, he’s not a real MRA then!”, but man, you’re gonna start running real short of people you can claim are real MRAs.
Oh, and Steele, if you’re hoping to be buddies with NWO, I really hope you’re not Jewish…
Don’t forget the superdogs. THE SUPERDOGS!!!
Also the little girls who wear swimsuits to the beach in order to sexually entice men, rather than because going to the beach may involve swimming.
@Torvus Butthorn
So NWO has admitted he only jerks off when angry, would rob a bank if he didn’t get caught, thinks women looking sexy is tantamount to rape and sexual assault, thinks beating women in the streets is ok, believes in a vast global feminist new world order conspiracy, and you think he seems “cogent, reasonable and intelligent?”
Like seems like, I guess.
Says, Pervocracy, you’re both notorious misandrist-feminists here on Boobzland. It doesn’t surprise me that you can twist a reasonable man’s words to mean such things.
Hey, Steele, you and owly ought to combine your artistic talents and co author a book. ‘course you may not find anyone willing to publish it, because of the feminist gynocracy, of course, not because you’re a couple of lackwits.
Okay, no twisting, direct link here:

Go ahead and put that shit in context.
You want a link to the recent “you filthy jew” thread? You can also ask NWO himself what he think about the expression “Jesus tapdancing christ”. I think if you want to be buddy with him, being a white cis male straight Christian is a basic requirement.
@Torvus
And only a “professional” word twister would call us misandrists and NWO reasonable. Too bad you can’t get paid for taking things out of context and being deliberately obtuse.
lol
THAT CAN’T BE TRUE BECAUE YOU’RE A DOODY-HEAD
pretty much sums up mikey’s wishful thinking
ninja’ed. As mentioned aboved, the context is someone saying “Jesus tapdancing christ”.
mikey if you are gonna jump through hoops to prove that a dude who calls himself ‘nwoslave’ is a rational thinker than you are even sadder than i could have imagined
Can anyone find me the link to the actual evolution & super-dogs discussion? I don’t think I was around yet for that one, and I feel like it would complete me as a person to read it.
Steele, you know it doesn’t really hurts feminists’ feeling when you call them “misandrist”, right? That still doesn’t mean anything for us.
More of NWO on Jews:

(I’d quote him about women too, but I don’t know what you’d actually find offensive.)
(I didn’t notice the “revirginized after being hammered as a prepubescent girl” thing before! Yeek. Not even sure what that’s in reference to. Maybe some severely warped understanding of Bat Mitzvah?)
Well, as to the quote you’ve provided, I would perhaps prefer to discuss it with NWOslave himself. I can’t yet rule out misandrist-feminist vile tricks- Futrelle altering the post, screenshot, hacking, etc.
If he corroborates the views you’ve cited here; indeed, I wish nothing to do with him. But somehow I’m not so sure he will.
why are yall bothering with the links
hes been sniffing around here long enough to see owlslaves rants about sexy twelve year olds and beating gay people in the street and he still decided he likes the way that dude thinks
it’s almost as if he’s also a dumb whiner who blames women for everything he doesnt like about his life
Men are normally very generous with their compliments towards women. Women are also very generous with their compliments towards women.
You’ve never complimented me. And I’m awesome.
Oh, there’s a Jewish law saying that if a virginal girl is raped, she is still considered a virgin. Maybe that’s what NWOslave was babbling about. But it’s meant as a way to comfort rape victims, not to encourage rape! Cripes.
Cliff, Steele declared Tom Martin a secret feminist over the child rape apology, so if you know where to find them, I think quotes of NWO’s thought on littles girls in capri pant could help.
I’m not sure if that would make NWO another secret feminist or not a true MRA, but I’d like to know. Again, only if you know where to find that.
Steele, you know it doesn’t really hurts feminists’ feeling when you call them “misandrist”, right? That still doesn’t mean anything for us.
Of course I know this- you are explicitly anti-male; you hate men and are proud of it. Or at the very least, you believe men worth less than women; you deny that men have problems and issues on both a collective and individual level; and you laugh at men’s pain- this is all effectively anti-male. You are also proud of this and public about this.
I am naturally aware of all this; “misandrist” is just an accurately adjective.
And I thought you couldn’t sink any lower. Pathetic.
you already admitted you were lying about calling david a liar, and youre still pulling this shit? you lied, mikey, stop trying to blame other people for it.
remember yesterday when you were ranting about how taking people on faith was a sign of low intelligence? you can’t even keep your sadsack rationalizations consistent for two days.
“I can’t yet rule out misandrist-feminist vile tricks- Futrelle altering the post, screenshot, hacking, etc.”
You don’t think our permanent resident troll would know if that was the case and would have been screaming all over the internet if that was the case?
What do you even mean by screenshot, Cliff gave you a direct link?
he’s making shit up because all he knows is excuses. it’s a side effect of being a fucking coward
Sure, I hate my brother, my father, my boyfriend, my twenty-ish male cousin, all of my male friends, my formers crushes, the guys I play RPGs with, 3/4 of my current classmates and teachers, the male SF authors that fills my shelves, all the male Manboobzers, I hate half of the people I met. Right. And you that because… Just like most people who speak english, I don’t thing misandry is a real thing? You’re a genuis.
Hahaha, wow, these are some next-level denial powers.
If David hasn’t edited any of your words, or in fact anyone’s words ever except occasionally to remove really horrible things, what makes you think that’s a thing he does?
Not sure what you mean by “screenshot,” that’s a direct link. The whole page is full of NWO saying this stuff.
But even if you talk directly to NWO, how will you know it’s him, and not David hacking it’s account? If you meet him in the flesh and he says racists shit, maybe he’s still a robot with small feminists controlling him from the inside!!!
No, I don’t. I made a very clear post about this uesterday on another thread. You conveniently ignored it.
Maybe David David edited all of Steele’s posts and he’s actually a very likable and honest person? Damn you, David Futrelle!!11!!
david also secretly ran antimanboobz, just to preemptive discredit mikey
we just cant see it because we belieeeeve people, which is the stupidest thing ever, unless the people you believe rant about the jews and vaccines
I can’t be “explicitly anti-male,” or “public about this,” because I challenge you to find any quote anywhere where a Manboobzer has said “I hate men” or “men are worth less than women.”
Disagreeing with all of your theories about men does not mean hating men.
I’ll say it right now: I think men are pretty much the same as women. They’ve had different social conditioning, is all. But most men are pretty decent people. In general I don’t think any differently about men than I do about humans.
However I don’t believe men are an oppressed class. Don’t hate them, just don’t think they’re oppressed, and think it’s funny and mockable when they use weaksauce arguments like “a female teacher stopped me from writing, so now I’m only a rich executive/entrepreneur, woe is me!” to prove their oppression.
“I think men are pretty much the same as women.”
You monster. Stop being so mean with men
Okay, Steele, tell me how David faked up NWOslave’s comments on another site:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/NWOslave?action=comments
Some choice quotes:
(2nd page)
(3rd page)
Unfortunately I could only find misogyny in a brief scan, not anti-Semitism, so I hope you’re able to recognize those statements as misogynist and not just “anti-misandrist,” but I think even you can connect the dots here.
And those comments on HuffPo go back months and there’s hundreds of them, so if you’re going to claim David just registered as NWOslave to discredit him, you’re assuming he’s put a lot of work into it.
Time for plan 2: “No True MRA,” Steelepole.
“I hope you’re able to recognize those statements as misogynist and not just “anti-misandrist,” but I think even you can connect the dots here.”
Wouldn’t count on that if I were you, Cliff.
I’m pretty sure Steele Buttpole will agree with NWO’s sentiments about women, Cliff.
SteeleTroll: you can twist a reasonable man’s words to mean such things.
*spits water over the monitor*
Dude, YOU CAN READ.
Go to any post/thread you wish, and look for his nym: control+F and type in his nym and see what he wrote.
But laughing my ass off at the “Tom Martin is a feminist plant” and “NWO is reasonable man whose posts (what is it David, over 3000 of them) have been altered by David”–I mean, really!
Any self identified MRA who doesn’t fit your little list is a feminist plant, or a fake????????????
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHA.
Well, there must be a lot of fakes over on The Spearhead, then.
Regardless of NWOslave’s views- a fringe of kooks does not represent the MRM.
Hey, are we moving the Doctor Who derail over here?
Wait, I thought NWOslave was a reasonable man whose words were twisted but us misandrist-feminists?
just once admit you said a stupid thing, duder
Wait, forgot which thread I was on. Guess the derail hasn’t move after all!
@snowy
no, the goalposts moved
If Slavey was a Dalek that would explain so much. No wonder he’s so unfamiliar with and confused by human dating patterns.
When the “fringe” constitutes 80 % of a movement, it does.
Wouldn’t that just be like, everything Steelebutthorn has ever said?
http://manboobz.com/2011/07/08/its-alive-the-man-boobz-forum-that-is/
If Slavey were a Dalek, that would explain his paranoia and mindless aggression.
Hey … you know, Daleks only see the universe through their eyestalks, right? Kind of like how people with an all-encompassing ideology see everything through the framework of that ideology? Man, I’m glad no one has thought to hit that metaphor so hard it would be like an anvil falling on our heads.
Hahahahaha, oh man, I missed this gem of brilliance the first time around. It doesn’t quite beat out “eat a fish, eat a fetus!” for the coveted title of Most Ridiculous Single Phrase Coined By NWO, but it comes close.
The plunger arm would probably be useful to him as well. Not for manipulating his environment or crushing human skulls, but for cleaning up blockages caused by all the bullshit he spews.
That post is rather “lighthearted” for NWO. He rarely makes jokes like that anymore. Too angry.
@Steele: So show us where the mainstream, moderate, NON-hating MRA blogs are?
It’s a constant challenge to trollz here who come in telling us “don’t judge us by the fringe,” and NOBODY can ever link to one.
So, LINKY PLZ
Um, uh, er … Amanda Marcotte doesn’t ever want to have a baby some babies are little boys what does Marc**t have against boys I BET ANDREA DWORKIN EATS FORESKINS
I’m not sure what’s funnier, Steele trying to buddy up to NWO, or NWO saying he doesn’t have a bad attitude towards women.
I’m not sure why it’s important to convince Varpole that NWO is vile. They’re birds of a feather anyway, I hope they have many happy hours discussing Pyrrhonism.
Yanno Cliff, in the world view of the abuser lobby that is exactly what it means.
Ithiliana:
Maybe an Evil Feminist once suggested that men sometimes do things other than reading, and he’s been illiterate ever since.
“Of course I know this- you are explicitly anti-male; you hate men and are proud of it. Or at the very least, you believe men worth less than women; you deny that men have problems and issues on both a collective and individual level; and you laugh at men’s pain- this is all effectively anti-male. You are also proud of this and public about this.”
Is it just me or did that thesis backtrack from “explicitly” to “effectively” in record time?
Thesis statements, what is they.
Been away for a while. Shade, thanks ever so for clearing up the Cybermen issue. Though it would been nice if they’d have taken a little to explain that in the damn show. *grumble grumble”
I know what you mean. It’s like the other day when I was in the pharmacy and the woman behind the counter complimented my hat several times… oh wait, no, you’re just full of shit again.
And you, Steelepole, remain the living embodiment of irony.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, dude. Keep right on pretending your paranoia is special and right. Not like weirdos who blame women for all their problems.
You’ve never complimented me. And I’m awesome.
As we can see, even on an Internet message board, women are fishing for compliments. Seems to have proven Slave’s point- which is salient, regardless of his other views.
You don’t know what a joke is, do you Steele?
“As we can see, even on an Internet message board, women are fishing for compliments. Seems to have proven Slave’s point- which is salient, regardless of his other views.”
Folks, I think we’re witnessing the awkward fusion of Steele and NWOslave.
I mean, if the definition of fusion is, “Going back and forth in one’s defense of a person simply because they’re disliked by those they themselves dislike.”
My vote’s on the latter. Steele can set aside or explain away (à la Toy Soldier regarding Tom Martin) owly’s “foibles”, considering he’s latched onto a fellow tinfoil hatter.
Aw, I think NWO might be about to make his first friend! Though he’s not responding all that favorably to Steele’s overtures so far.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
