Nerds and Male Privilege | Paging Dr. NerdLove →
The idea of privilege, in this case, can be applied to any dominant culture or social group.  I see parallels here with others and othering of different ethnicities, for instance.  This is a very well written essay, I must say.  It should be part of the intro to any gender studies course.  It’s amusing, but it’s also very, very serious.  Here’s an excerpt from page 2.

Organon: To all those men who don't think the rape... →
oforganon: I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never…
