And no, there is no female privilege, and if you have a misunderstood word, go read feminism 101 until you accept it.

I seem to recall having seen at least one introduction to feminism which did acknowledge that there are forms of female privilege (e.g. children usually end up with the mother after divorces), even though far fewer than forms of male privilege (their list was about an order of magnitude shorter). (This made me find that introduction much more credible, as otherwise it would have failed Policy Debates Should Not Appear One-Sided.)

I would have more respect for such introduction, too, for pretty much the same reasons.

There are several such, but they don't tend to inspire quite as strong a reaction as the ones the OC is reacting to.
