The whole point is... that we live in a patriarchal society, and as such the purposes of the male gender are served where the female gender takes a back seat to that. It's a fact of our lives. What you're doing here, if you support Tav's argument, is saying that the privilege afforded to males isn't privilege at all, but is the perfect balance.
@ Tav:
1. You truncated eli's word to ridicule them. What she said wasn't what you quoted. I hope that's dumbed down enough for you.
2. Bigoted assholes represent us as a society. If society condones an inequality then the society gets to shoulder the blame. You are of course trying to cite extremes to avoid the label. Unfortunately the cap still fits.
5. If the guy in another country by the standards of that country being the same as my own beats his wife... sure it's my problem. Nice diversion tactic - nothing to do with the subject.
6. see above
7. What Eli is saying certainly applies to this forum. As members of this civilised society we're all culpable for it's shortcomings.
8. Go take a look at the objectification thread. And what was the point of you linking us to pictures of your GF?
