Female Privilege

Travelling with my young daughter, more than once, some shopkeeper or museum guide has made a fuss over her, spontaneously given her some special treat.

This has never happened to my son.

Our culture is based on female privilege. Girls are always treated far better than boys. Women are always treated far better than men.

This is not some new thing, with feminism. It has always been true. Feminism has only made it more extreme.

So why is it women who have been complaining of being oppressed?

That’s the result of spoiling anyone. They come to expect the treatment. Reread Andersen’s “The Princess and the Pea.”

The truly abused generally do not dare complain.
