In case you couldn't read the words, here are two choice quotations:- "Male privilege is being proud of not raping anyone while failing to take action to change men who do."
- "Male privilege is getting paid more for the same job."
Please read Barbara Kay's column and then look at those photographs again.
Further to this, imagine if similar groups launched a campaign against the "sins" of white males. Would it be very difficult to imagine slogans like these:
- "White male privilege is being proud of not ever hanging a black man from a tree but failing to actively ensure that no white men ever do so again."
- "White male privilege is getting paid more for the same job than minorities. Disclaimer: This comment does not apply to Asian men & women."
- "White male privilege is feeling comfortable that you can date women of any ethnicity but not feeling guilty about the challenges faced by your minority brothers to date white women."
- "White male privilege is feeling good to be alive while failing to spend every waking moment atoning for the sins of your fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and every damn male in your family before that!"
