• The Male Privilege Checklist 1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed. 2. I can be confident that my co-workers won't think I got my job because of my sex - even though that might be true. 3. If I am never promoted, it's not because of my sex. 4. If I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won't be seen as a black mark against my entire sex's capabilities. 5. The odds of my encountering sexual harassment on the job are so low as to be negligible. 6. If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job. 7. If I'm a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds of being raped are so low as to be negligible. 8. I am not taught to fear walking alone after dark in average public spaces. 9. If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be called into question. 10. If I have children but do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be called into question. 11. If I have children and provide primary care for them, I'll be praised for extraordinary parenting if I'm even marginally competent. 12. If I have children and pursue a career, no one will think I'm selfish for not staying at home. 13. If I seek political office, my relationship with my children, or who I hire to take care of them, will probably not be scrutinized by the press. 14. Chances are my elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious and powerful the elected position, the more likely this is to be true. 15. I can be somewhat sure that if I ask to see "the person in charge," I will face a person of my own sex. The higher-up in the organization the person is, the surer I can be. 16. As a child, chances are I was encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters. 17. As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of children's media featuring positive, active, non-stereotyped heroes of my own sex. I never had to look for it; male heroes were the default. 18. As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often. 19. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether or not it has sexist overtones. 20. I can turn on the television or glance at the front page of the newspaper and see people of my own sex widely represented, every day, without exception. 21. If I'm careless with my financial affairs it won't be attributed to my sex. 22. If I'm careless with my driving it won't be attributed to my sex. 23. I can speak in public to a large group without putting my sex on trial. 24. If I have sex with a lot of people, it won't make me an object of contempt or derision. 25. There are value-neutral clothing choices available to me; it is possible for me to choose clothing that doesn't send any particular message to the world. 26. My wardrobe and grooming are relatively cheap and consume little time. 27. If I buy a new car, chances are I'll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car. 28.

I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a *****. 30. I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that kind of violence is called "crime" and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called "domestic violence" or "acquaintance rape," and is seen as a special interest issue.) 31. I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. "All men are created equal…," mailman, chairman, freshman, he. 32. My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is. 33.

The decision to hire me will never be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon. 35. Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is usually pictured as being male. 36. Most major religions argue that I should be the head of my household, while my wife and children should be subservient to me. 37. If I have a wife or girlfriend, chances are we'll divide up household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks. 38. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, chances are she'll do most of the childrearing, and in particular the most dirty, repetitive and unrewarding parts of childrearing. 39. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, and it turns out that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids, chances are we'll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers. 40. Magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are much rarer. 41. I am not expected to spend my entire life 20-40 pounds underweight. 42. If I am heterosexual, it's incredibly unlikely that I'll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover. 43. I have the privilege of being unaware of my male privilege. -- When 1 in 3 women are raped in their lifetimes- including in the United States- we still have major problems in our society! When sexual harrassment happens to at least half of all women in the workplace creating a hostile work environment, we've got some serious societal issues... Rape is a war where the victims are blamed and continually battled against by those in their own country. The effects of rape are more horrific than for any other crime, and yet we don't see the heroes- the women who had to crawl through the battlefield of the rape, parts of her being blown up, her mental anguish in many forms lasting a lifetime, affecting every aspect of her entire being.... if there is a trial, which is so unlikely anyway, she is blamed for the war she suffered, her history is brought up, she is dragged through the minefield yet again... do they do the same things for our male heroes from the war? think about it....

• Answer:

  I'm glad you've posted this checklist - it's bang on. I don't know about the rape statistics. I think they come from an estimation of how often the victim doesn't step forward; it makes rapes very difficult to tally. Someone made a good point that men get defensive about this statistic because they feel that one in four men have to be rapists to account for it. Of course this isn't true, one man can be, and often is, responsible for many different women being raped. As to sexual harassment, I know from experience, that it would be next to impossible for a woman to go her whole life without being sexually harassed. We have to deal with it on a semi-regular basis. Being sexually harassed is part of being a woman - period. Wage disparity: I think that it's time to remove the taboo of talking about how much people are earning. Most people don't want to say how much they make so it's difficult to compare. Certainly, there are more men in higher paying positions, no-one can argue that. Someone mentioned women in the media... there are certainly more male anchors than female ones. Women, on average, have better language skills; they should dominate the media, but they don't. I'm saddened that you got so much backlash, it doesn't speak well for the state of things.
