Most of us, since most of us here are male, also enjoy what is called Male Privilege, which is to say that even if we personally are not sexist or misogynist, we still benefit from sexism and misogyny within our society.

When I discuss racial issues, I'm not talking about Jim Crow stuff. Rather, I'm talking about subtle things that, when you open your eyes to them, you'll find that you understand people more than you thought.

"Privilege" is NOT restricted to the economic status of a person. In the sociological sense, it means much, much more.

Things are getting much better, there is no doubting that. And yes, the biggest hurdle that all Americans face is socio-economic and class oriented. However, to tuck our heads in the sand and ignore sexism and racism is a HUGE mistake that will eventually bite us.

Ohhh, well, if it's Wikipedia........ 04-bs
