Well if you are a White man, that statement doesn't surprise me as you would have White privilege.

Better question- Why do you ask a question while giving an opinion as fact?

I'm asking the question and then people can way in on the subject matter if they choose to. Please pay attention.

By the way, your shaming tactics aren't working.

I don't blame you gwilly; I understand that this is how you, as a millennial, were brought up. You dear little snowflake, coming to terms with just how unimportant you are, with just how unfair life is; it can be rough.

I'm as Black as they come and getting blacker if anything.

Simply put, I don't feel demonized as a male. I feel exalted.

Because the pendulum has swung too far after years of women not being treated equally. Now that it's the other way around, it's vengeance.

Well to be fair, Hillary's supporters bring up her gender more than her (many) detractors. I would say the central issue to the Clinton campaign is "I'm a woman, make me the first woman President! Wouldn't that be cool?"

If it was actual equality on all merits then I wouldn't have a problem but it's mostly picking and choosing issues that women can benefit from and mostly ignore issues where women clearly have privileged over men. That's why I call out the hypocrisy. My thread isn't about hating women, it about calling out the hypocrisy of this culture. Using the banner of equal rights when it's actually creating a anti-male culture.
