priv·i·leged
adjective
having special rights, advantages, or immunities.
Oppressed
op·pressed
adjective
subject to harsh and authoritarian treatment
Extremely privileged... entitled... and usually egotist narcissists with a megalomania complex.
Sure there are exceptions to that rule, but exceptions don't make the rule. If I grabbed a random 10 women, there is a very, very good chance all of them are as I have just described.
Us women are the most privilaged groups of people in all of history.
The fact that some claim to be oppressed, shows how spiled theyve become

Women in the US are privileged because they can get away with abusing men in this country. They often get the courts to side with them in divorces and custody battles. They will often get a lesser sentence than men for the same crime. Look at Gypsy Rose for instance. She may not have done the crime itself but she planned it out and should have gotten just as much time as the guy who did it. Also look at the female teachers who have sex with their students. When they do it, they get a much lesser sentence than when a male does it and it often is seen as a glorified thing where men and some women will praise it saying that the kid was lucky to get it on with their female teacher which is just sick. And these are just the few privileges I can think of. There are a lot more.
Well said 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
All true
" When they do it, they get a much lesser sentence than when a male does it". Yes, and no. What statistics show is that women involved in sexual abuse cases receive a lesser "charge" than men, but that depends on the ages and other factors in the case, such as females abusing girls vs boys.
"when a male does it and it often is seen as a glorified thing where men and some women will praise it " Some people praise it? Who, some idiots? Kindly show me cases where a child was molested by a man and received praise for it from anyone who has a functional brain, or who is relevant to society.
The largest differential in sentencing for committing the same sexual crime doesn't involve women at all; it's racially based. Black men receive longer sentences for committing and being charged with the exact same crime as a white man.
You say there "a lot more" female privileges. Besides being favored in custody hearings and divorces, what are they?
We’re privileged as fuck lol 😂😂😂
But there’s punks out here trying to remove those privileges. Like.. who gave you that authority you grown creep 🫵 lmao wtf.
And guys like that are usually from Arabia , an unadvanced , disadvantaged , poor nations. Return to the homeland lmao 🤣
If they take away my privileges here. I’ll just find my adult passport and fly back to my homecountry in South America or another advanced nation where we are privileged. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Then hideous-males can’t do shit about that 🖕🖕 simple … … 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I don't think you can classify ALL women in the country as being privileged (which many are) or oppressed (which many are). The two standards are impacted by too many other sociological factors that have nothing to do with gender. There are still a lot of people in the US who are socio-economically oppressed (male and female) despite the so-called advantages we share.
Having said this I'm personally thankful every day for whatever God sees fit to grant me. Some days are great, others harsh, most are bittersweet, which is fine... I know others have it tougher and keep those men and women in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Ok. I have educated myself and found that in america, both men and women can vote but only men are subject to selective service. Hmmm
I also found that genital mutilation only applies to men. So much for that right to bodily autonomy.
Some police departements employ the duluth model. Which means that a man will automatically get arrested even if he's the victim of domestic violence. Due process straight out the window.
Whats up with those affirmative action programs and gender quotas? Thougth women wanted equality not special treatement?
Oh and lets not forget that sperm stealing and baby trapping are not illegal or how making false rape accusations almost never get punished.
Did i forget anything?
As @Smashingdoozy says it’s not black n white.
people in this are saying women are privileged, how would you tell a young black lesbian who is living on the poverty line, that’s she privileged?
how do you tell a girl who has just finished college but is struggling to get a job that pays enough to cover her rent, medical insurance, her food and energy bills.
then throw in the US attitude to abortion in a number of states, I don’t consider that to be a hugely privileged stance when compared to other more progressive countries.
Are there more opportunities to live a more privileged life in the US, I would expect so but of the population you will have a huge sliding scale of what is and what is not privilege, with a load of grey areas.
Are people (girls and guys) more privileged in the US than say Saudi, Iran etc, yep it would look that way, now about those women privileges in those countries…
What makes you think they're mutually exclusive? Oh, I know you want us to say "women are privileged here", and you're not wrong, but I don't see municipality making laws against men going around topless. Of course, the idea that that's somehow equal to reproductive, anti-discrimination, anti-slavery, and bodily integrity rights is ludicrous; I have, and will continue to, make that very assertion myself.
But my point is that it's not so black-and-white as you make it out to be. And the difference between the easily quantifiable "rights" and the much more nebulous "social expectations" should be taken into account, too.
overly priviledge!
women here can go to the beach with a thong on and won't face consequences and repercussion. while women in the middle east get beatup with sticks and stones just for showing their faces out in public.
also every where in the world a woman must work to make a living or marry a supportive husband. here in America in the other hand a woman will simply get rewarded with multiple incomes just by getting pregnant from 5 different dudes
When you have a woman bragging on camera that she sued her sperm donor for child support and the court made him pay not only is that privilege but that's just downright criminal in my mind. Lock her in the judge up throw away the key
I'd like to think somewhere in-between like here in the UK
Both options given are bad because if your privileged that means someone else is disadvantaged because of you. If you are oppressed other people are controlling your life and being privileged because of it
Women claim they are Oppressed, Suppressed, Depressed, Compressed, Unimpressed, Repressed, Expressed and just Plain Pressed... and Stressed. But not Blessed.
Whenever I ask a feminist what rights that I as a man enjoy that they don't I either don't get an answer or they mention things that aren't rights like men being physically able to rape women or sleep around with less judgement. Some will screech about the pay gap but that's a myth.
Privileged as hell! If that is opression, I want to be oppressed like they are.
Agreed
It's not so black and white. You can have privileges that other people don't have and you can simultaneously be oppressed in others
Very privileged even in court the judge sticks up for the woman if you’re having like alimony issues , marriage issues or anything else
Yeah the women play the victim card nicely don't they and the judge feel sorry for him while a lot of times they're really the wolf and sheep's clothing
Oppressed. They are barely paid or considered people in their own right. It's why a lot are becoming transmen
You never hear about trans men though it’s always trans women so if anything it sucks to be a man because men would rather become women
compared to a lot of countries in the world for suree. america is one of the best countries to be a woman
Obviously highly privileged , but things have gone too far as we have seen in some recent examples.
I don't live over there, but I'll take a guess. Neither?
Wrong answer they are very privileged over here all they got to do is whip up some fake crocodile tears and all the sudden the men are the bad guy yeah go get them put them in jail while they play the victim card
I love how most of the votes say privileged. I would challenge any American feminist that believes women in the west are oppressed to live in the middle east for a month.
Compared to men in the US, or compared to women around the world?
Privileged relative to women in some other countries. Oppressed relative to men in the US.
