Gender

[Bridge]

Shit, sorry, I completely missed this.

This is fair enough, a good way to conduct any debate. I should take a lesson from your approach.

To be fair I might have given off a different vibe in my post than I intended to. When I said "privileged" in italics for example I was trying to emphasize the fact that those were Abraxis' words. I think there is technically some privilege, but I would never call it that, which I think would be obvious from my other posts.

IMO, one can learn a lot more from your approach. It is remarkable to me how well informed you are, and how you manage to frame your thoughts totally free of bias. I'm glad I'm on your side because you would make a very formidable opponent.

(I'm not implying there are only two sides to this issue or anything like that)

I also think "inequality" is perhaps too strong a word to describe the state of affairs in a Western society like the U.S. or U.K., at least when it comes to gender differences.

I agree with you but the word inequality doesn't necessarily need to be strong. Even a slight imbalance can be called inequality if you go by the literal definition. Whether or not it is useful to use the term in that way is another debate in and of itself though.

P.S. You didn't give the impression that you thought there was no inequality. In hindsight I think I would have rather said that your posts give the impression that the inequality between the sexes is equal. This may very well be true, and if it is I will gladly eat my own words, but right now I would say the balance is tipped somewhat in favor of men - not a lot mind you, but are you completely sure you can literally counter any evidence for male privilege with evidence for female privilege? I ask as humbly as I possibly can.
