High School Teacher: "Peeing While Standing," Netflix is Male Privilege
Pundit Press ^ | 5/5/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/05/2015 2:31:50 PM PDT by rightistight

...Mr. Greenberg teaches in Seattle and writes for Everyday Feminism. In an article published yesterday, titled “Looking for Proof of Male Privilege in Your Daily Life? Here Are 7 Undeniable Examples,” he tackles the concept of “male privilege.”

At the very beginning of the article, Mr. Greenberg includes a warning, writing, “This article is written from a White, cisgender, straight male’s perspective – in other words, from my perspective. Throughout, I discuss primarily experiences and research involving cisgender men and women, but I must acknowledge the limitations of such a perspective.”

Greenberg then told a short story that he said showed seven examples of male privilege, one which women aren’t able to do. This is what he wrote: “Thirty minutes after waking up, I zipped to the school at which I teach and experienced a damn fine day of teaching. Upon my return home, I headed out for a run on an unseasonably warm March afternoon. After a family dinner and tagging out of the bedtime routine for our four-year-old, I walked to a coffee shop, where I finally started this article, an achievement I rewarded with a short dose of Netflix.”

According to Greenberg, this story is a “staggering display of male privilege.”

...Third, he writes, “I Have the Privilege of Peeing Standing Up.” He begins this section by writing, “Between my two-hour classes, I needed to pee – an urge, I’m told by female colleagues, that a penis is able to keep at bay longer (yet another privilege, though physiological and cisgender-specific, to add to the list).”

He continues, “An open urinal or stall was waiting for me, as always. Such availability is not the norm for many women’s bathrooms… Pee privilege also extends to the outdoors, as it’s not uncommon to see men urinating in public.”

Women having a baby is female privilege? So would breast feeding I guess.

I think we need to start listing female privileges. I will start (writing as a female):

1. I am privileged to get angry at any male who does not open a door for me OR any male who does open a door for me.

2. I am privileged as to be able to declare my right to not work and stay home and take care of my children.

3. I am privileged as to be able to take as long as I wish to get ready to go out and will bite the head off of any male who asks me to “hurry up.”

Feel free to add your own.

"LSD....nation's food supply"

Definitely more than the necessary amount of crazy being supplied by the usual suspects. Every time I think leftists can't get nuttier, they surprise me.

He would be much happier if he whacks the offending parts off.

No, it’s just the luck of the biological draw.

It is almost as if LSD has been slipped into the nation’s food supply.

Not LSD. Endocrine disruptors. Specifically, chemicals that act like female sex hormones. Phytoestrogens in soy

Ah, but technology has already answered some of these 'problems'! For example, "Go Girl";

Go Girl is a simple, sanitary device made from germ-resistant medical-grade silicone that allows women the benefit of going to the bathroom standing up. The easy-to-use device is reusable or disposable and the small storage tube fits easily into a purse or backbpack. Go Go Girl is for active, traveling and germ-conscious women who don't have access to a sit-down toilet or who don't want to use unfit facilities.

Multiple others - use any search with the term "she pee"!

Women can pee while standing, too. Just because it is less convenient doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

A buddy of mine was at a rock show in Philly at JFK or The Vet and recalled how women could not wait for the line in the ladies room and so they came into the men’s room, hiked up their skirt got a leg up and pissed in the urinals.

As a woman, you are entitled to change your mind about anything, at any time, for any reason.

It’s when people pay a lot of money to go to school to learn how to repeat and use big words to sound smart. Instead they come off sounding like lunatics.
