the key to arguing against female privilege is to ignore actual outcomes, and to focus instead on occasionally-dubious theories about how a female privilege arose. This is by far the most common theme...

Moreover, it has only been in the last year or two that the National Organization of Women revoked its official stance against shared custody initiatives. Can you provide evidence for this? I’ve only...

I’m not sure what, exactly, you’re asking for evidence for, Aapje. Up until recently, NOW had some sort of document on their website opposing shared custody initiatives (I’m not sure if it was this or...

@Daran This study examined the subjects’ prejudices, but not their experiences as beneficiaries/victims of the prejudices of others. If men and women both suffer from it, doesn’t that mean that by...
