So, I was watching Road to Marwen and I have already seen Marwencol. Never thought of it before, but a grown woman can walk into any bar in the country with whatever footwear she wants and not have the fear of being beaten and left for dead. A guy wears some high heels in the wrong place and he is possibly going to his arse kicked. There is essentially little a woman can do to cross dress. Clothing in the US has already been pretty much coded to allow women to wear whatever but the men face the risk.
While this sounds superficial it is reflective of a greater situation. Men are the number one victims of violence. I have seen evidence to support that men are the number one victims of both violent and sexual crimes. Men are both the perpetrators and victims of men. Men murder men more than murder women. Men would beat a guy up outside a bar for wearing heels. Women may just scoff at the man for having cuter shoes or better legs.
Women walk in fear through downtown and rush to their car. Men should.

I will agree that men should be the ones to avoid conflict by running. We've all seen the videos of women attacking men and nobody does shit, but after some time he fights back and an army comes outta nowhere to stop it. LOL.
No clue why these guys aren't just walking away the minute a chick gets in his face. Yeah they start backing up, but if she's continuing to follow you just book it. Fuck it you're screwed either way.

While I have you here. Is there a difference between a double standard and a privilege?

While I have you here. Is there a difference between a double standard and a privilege? Don't think so. I think double standard is just society acknowledging the privilege exists and just kinda shrugs it's shoulders at it.
When you started talking about a women going into a bar I really thought the privilege was being able to go into any bar with no money and leave hammered whereas that option only exists for a very small section of the male population. The only male privilege I can really think of is the fact that clothing manufacturers give us pockets, but we also are not allowed to socially use the male equivalent of a purse outside of Europe so it's kind of a wash really...

Not worthy of it's own thread but I was reading the morning news and I had a thought. There was a headline of a kid who was outed as being gay who committed suicide. It seems I only read these headlines for males. Is the social consequence for homosexuality higher for males? Males just that more prone to be effective at suicide? Or the news only reports on male, gay, suicide and not young lesbians?

But even shows I watch that push homosexuality on characters seem to be more likely to showcase lesbians couples than gay. I'm just going by the ones I've seen I could be completely off base on that one. Maybe that's society saying it's more accepting of one over the other? That or it's just a demographic pandering that I have not seen until now.

And I know which kind of same sex couple most would prefer to watch kiss... and it ain't the brokeback mountain kind.
