8. So much for male privilege.
I have long suspected that the male and female worlds were not as unequal as the dominant (feminist) view would have it; that women/feminism were much better at asking for things men have that women want than telling men what women have that men might want.

It isn't actually news to me that women are better emotionally connected to each other than men are,
but I've never felt that a better emotional connection to other men was really what I wanted to work towards.
