Female privilege

Ways in which women are privileged

--reproductive rights

--reproductive rights

--reproductive rights

--few reproductive responsibilities-- this is a dangerous combination of one-two punch.  the female has all reproductive rights up to, including, and surpassing carrying to term and the birth.  BUT simultaneously, the female has no responsbilities of making sure that an unwanted fertilization occurs.  popular consensus states that solely males bear all the responsibility to ensure that no unwanted fetus grows.
health insurance companies have now also made sure that females don't have to take responsibility for themselves.

--gender specific homeless shelters.

--the husband is expected to shower the wife relentlessly with affection, attention, compliments, all the time.
notice this joke right here.  look at it:  no expectations whatsoever from the female.  but look at the laundry list of demands expected of the male.

--but there is a catch.  if the man does happen to buy his wife flowers out of the blue, she has the full right and choice to interpret it as him being guilty of something.

--the husband must always apologize if there was any misunderstanding.  -for example, if the husband does anythign remotely that might be perceived [construed] in the female's brain as insulting, offensive, taken the wrong way

--notice that the woman is not expected to do anything for valentien's day.  go back through your memory and you will see this.  the husband is expected to make dinner reservations, or cook an entire home-cooked meal.

--notice that the husband gets crap for forgetting anniversaries, etc.  this is even though the wife is not expected to execute any romantic gestures for an anniversary.

--work, job responsiblities.  a man does not have the option of just taking some time off and not work for a while.  is never allowed to just get fed up with his job and quit.  -if a wife just gets fed up at her job one day and throws up her hand and quits, oh well.  she might choose to go back or she might choose to "tkae some time off to regroup and take care of herself___".  a man has no such luxuries.

--lots of females insist that men do "their equal share" of housework.  they expect that the man who is usually the breadwinner, meaning he is working a job that is actually importnat and that positively impacts society, must come home from working a full day,, and then clean the entire kitchen.  this is even though the females sure as hell don't do "their equal share" of working outside the house.  women are secretaries, assistants, clerks, etc.

--there are ALREADY tons of female superheroes.  hunger games, buffy, ___. trinity, xena warrior princess, alias
