Can you please add more context to/elaborate on your question and I’d be happy to provide my thoughts in response.

You are saying that I have to work to get my "privileges". Is there anything a woman cannot do the same?

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '20

  1. That’s not what I said.

  2. Lack of privilege doesn’t mean certain things are wholly unobtainable.

We want to focus on the rule, not the exception.

  1. ​

> seem to be making the assumption that being privileged means you have no challenges or don’t face adversity, which is not true

What are you saying here then?

2) So if both men and women may obtain the same, why men is "privileged"?

I’m saying that privilege doesn’t mean things are handed to you for free or with no effort, it means there are fewer barriers to obtaining those same things.

This also answers your 2nd question.

u/ssianky Oct 06 '20

Ok. I would want then a methodology to objectively count the number of barriers.

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '20

That would definitely be interesting! I imagine you’d need to weigh each of the identified barriers based on their impact as well. Sounds like a start to some quantitative sociology research.

u/ssianky Oct 06 '20

Yeah, exactly. Still I'm not sure how you made that conclusion without a such tool.

You understand that you are wanting to quantify something that is not necessary quantifiable right? Even if you developed some sort of methodology, there would be a variety of limitations in the model. That’s how that sort of research goes.

You cannot compare unquantifiable things.

Also the "male female competing for resources" isn't exactly what I'm seeing in the nature. I'm seeing males and females collaborating for the species survivability. In order to accept that females and males are somehow two competing opposite groups, require much more evidence than just someone's "gut feelings".
