Fair enough I guess, but parent was still to my eye misunderstanding what `x privelege` means. s/white/male/g and the point largely still stands with mildly adjusted examples. I'd argue overall it is on the whole easier to be a man in society than a woman for similar reasons (i.e. men have been in charge of power structures for longer and entrenched assumptions abound). I hadn't thought about the perspective that men are more often killed by police than by women, and probably for similar reasons (i.e. subconsciously viewing men as more dangerous than women), but by and large as a man I don't fear getting shot by police on a traffic stop. It could definitely be harder to break into a traditionally female field, as an example, though for sure. Overall I feel the "male privilege" would be more pronounced than any "female privilege", though. This is actually what intersectionality describes: we each have our own unique sets of advantages and disadvantages through the lenses of our race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. In the vast majority of cases a straight white male is going to have the fewest disadvantages and most advantages in western society, because it's been designed for centuries around the straight white male as the power-wielder.
