Male privilege is a concept in radical feminism that claims that men have greater access to social, economic, and political advantages or rights based on their sex.
Mark Perry, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, destroys the myth of male privilege in a freshly updated chart titled: "For Every 100 Girls/Women..."
According to Perry, the data in the table show that based on a large number of measures, "boys and men are faring much worse than girls and women." Perry explains, "Despite the fact that boys and men are at so much greater risk than girls and women on so many different measures, those significant gender disparities that disproportionately and adversely affect men get almost no attention." He added, "It’s girls and women who get a disproportionate amount of attention, resources, and financial support."
He cited as examples the wide availability of women's centers and commissions on college campuses, and the lack of men's equivalents; the disproportionately high number of women-only scholarships, fellowships, awards and initiatives for female students and faculty; girls-only STEM programs and organizations, many of which, interestingly enough, are being challenged for violating Title IX.
The chart itself is quite fascinating, did you know that for every 100 girls/women who take AP/Honors courses in art and music, there are only 54 boys/men? For every 100 girls/women who earn an associate's degree, there are only 63 boys/men who accomplish the same feat. There are only 73 boys/men enrolled in a U.S. graduate school or who have earned at least a master's degree (between the ages of 25-29) for every 100 girls/women. For a doctor's degree, it's 90 boys/men for every hundred girls/women.

You’re welcome. It pays to increase your word power!
And also, Merry Christmas!
When getting aid to start businesses, women have a much easier time getting financial aid to help them. I suspect the same goes for college: “Female students can find financial aid opportunities that are completely exclusive to them”
And I’d bet most colleges now days create policies that benefit women over men.
As far as men prone to crime: Take the crime out of the equation for Detroit, Chicago, DC, Baltimore and a few others, I’ll bet that “prone to crime” factor disappears.
“I can think of three families, 2 millennial and one boomer, where the wife has a professional degree and works in her field, while the husband does not and is the child-carer and general homemaker.”
Really? I don’t know anybody like that. I probably wouldn’t want to know anybody like that.
It would be interesting to see a chart just for white boys/men and white girls/women. I expect the differences would be far less.
Even more interesting would be to see comparable stats on males vs. females, regardless of race, when both came from families in which they lived with their biological mother and father until adulthood.
Break it out by family income, too ... why not?
If the intention of the author is to help boys and men, I’m sure he would agree that it would be super helpful to be able to target help toward the individuals who really need it, so the more precisely we can identify the individuals statistically inclined toward to the worst outcomes, the better.
I am a 52 year old man. I am retiring this year. House paid for, own land, have income sources. Never married, well traveled, good cook. Single moms can go f’ themselves
Wow. Some privilege.
Especially when they are discriminated against in the name of "equality."
“There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally, and attempting to make them equal.” – Frederich Haye
If it were only that easy, they wouldn’t be mothers.
<<>>Synopsis
"When a feminist filmmaker sets out to document the mysterious and polarizing world of the Men’s Rights Movement, she begins to question her own beliefs. The Red Pill chronicles Cassie Jaye’s journey exploring an alternate perspective on gender equality, power and privilege."
I initially misread the title thinking it said, “Men are Farting Much Worse Than Females”.
While I don’t doubt the information on the chart, I would bet this does not slow down the man hating radical feminist leftists.
They want to turn all men into Obama pajama boys, protected and controlled by ‘strong women’...
The More Gender Equality, the Fewer Women in STEM (Atlantic Magazine link)
Case in point Finland.
Little Johanna may have been a whiz in grade school math and in secondary school blow away the boys in physics, but now she's a 20-something proprietress of a music cafe, sometime urban gardener and a part-time 3rd grade art teacher. Why?
Likes the flexibility and variety, enjoys working with creative people and crafters, adores doing creative projects with little kids.
It's called life-satisfaction. Feminine feel-goods. And CHOICE.
Noticed the same thing.
This chart is nothing more than crap-stirring junk.
They always have.
It's the males (most of them less than 21 years old) who stormed the beaches of Normandy to free the world of naziism and the beaches of Guadal Canal and Okinawa to free the world from the horrors of the Japanese Empire. (Look up the rape of Nanking and the Bataan death march if they didn't teach you about the Japanese Empire in school.).
Males have all the parameters of an oppressed minority, including lower life expectancy, higher morbidity in almost al diseases, higher rates of suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, and incarceration.
Males are an oppressed minority. (There are more females than males.)
This was brought home to me clearly when I tried to set up trusts for my daughter and my son. Males are far more vulnerable in court and far more difficult to protect than are females.
Oh, and don’t forget the court cases in which it was proven that the man was not the father of the child but he was forced to pay child support anyway. How’s that for a miscarriage of justice!
You missed the point altogether! Activism is the enemy that caused the imbalance by preferring one SEX over the other.
(Living things have a SEX, LANGUAGE has genders, usually male, female and neuter)
Messing with reality is what GOT US HERE!
Stop with the social engineering and let boys be boys, girls be themselves, and reality will return the sanity we once had.
I agree with the family support element being very important. The fact that 70 some percent of blacks are born to single mothers is deadly for two parent development of children. The black family has been decimated by the welfare state.
Doubt those statistics are easy to get though.
