Invisible Privilege OTD

Men in Power - Men's advocacy group at U of Chicago, which amongst a slew of privilege observation fail notes that women earn more college degrees than men yet fails to notice that women still make less money than men. This does not assure me that they're anything more than a group of guys who are afraid of losing their privilege in the exceedingly gradual evening of the playfield between the genders.

There's a bit of a difference between "everyone will look at you funny and you are likely to feel uncomfortable" and being asked to leave before the police are called.

Yes. There's also a difference between getting leered at and not. And being afraid for one's personal safety and not.
