Because it is usually followed by demands and hate. "I am woman, you are sexist because you are a man, now gimme your money".
- epistasis 13y agoReally? Can you point to some examples of that? Shouldn't be too hard if it usually happens...
- cbrauchli 13y agoWhy wouldn't the same happen when we talk about other forms of prejudice, e.g., racism?
- drivebyacct2 13y agoNo, that's what the people who don't understand what "privilege" is (and ironically react vitriolically to it as the headline questions) project onto others because that's all the more they're able to comprehend about this issue because "I've never seen it; must not happen", etc.
- pekk 13y agoSometimes people disagreeing have "privilege." And sometimes the people they are disagreeing with have just got it wrong. Regardless of the existence of sexism, nobody gets a free pass for all their claims or complaints just because of their gender. That would indeed be a "privilege."
- withad 13y agoReally? Is there some army of women out there extorting money out of men somehow by accusing them of being creepy and I've somehow missed it? Because it seems like that would be big news. Generally the only "demand" I ever see follow accusations of creepiness online is "please stop".
- pekk 13y agoA woman who just called you a creeper does not want your money in any case. A women complaining about sexism is typically not asking for a sugar daddy. Women do different things and have different views, it isn't the same woman doing all these things at once. Any more than it is all men doing all the stupid things any man has been known to do or say.
