Taser Whitey.
Its a sad day when a girl is to good to have someone hold a door for them
Well obviously a man wouldn’t worry about this…because it would be awesome.
…Well unless she was ugly. Or had a viral STD.

That’s because in this case it’s called flirting.

Hang on, I thought that due to political correctness that it is Ok for a man to hit a woman?
I thought since women got equal pay and the vote we could slap em?
Sorry If I got this wrong but I thought the sexes were now equal and we are now allowed to bitch slap bitches?
While you’re on a bitch slapping crusade, don’t forget to bitch slap your momma for giving birth to you.[/quote]
Hehehe, I knew at least one little fishy would bite
White men are privileged…Women and people of color are victims…Blah, Blah, Blah.
Your life is what you make of it.

I’m goint to assume that you are being facetious, but if that is not the case, I think you’re kind of stupid.

I don’t understand what makes this sad. And I don’t see how one’s unwillingness to make someone else open a door is related to being “too good”. I would suspect that people who think they are better than everyone else would expect to be catered to.

No one ever said anyone was a victim. In fact, I distinctly remember saying that I am not calling the groups that you mentioned helpless or victims.
Your life may be a result of your individual decisions, but no one can escape the influence of stereotypes, socialization, and major social institutions. The discriminatory attitudes are so ingrained in society that they affect everyone.

No one ever may have explicitly wrote it, but by calling white men privileged, you are inferring that women and people of color are not privileged, therefore, victims.

Like I said, most men have no idea what “sexual harassment” is. Flirting is an “approach” behavior, sexual harassment is an aggressive behavior.

White male privilege is a result of the way in which social institutions are set up so that white men benefit most, and women and other races are at a disadvantage.
Except when applying to college, financial grants, and various other things when it hurts you to be a white male.[/quote]
As level of education increases, the benefit of that education decreases drastically for black men. The more educated they are, the greater their earnings discrepancy relative to equally qualified white men. Thought you might be interested to know.

It sure is.
But when group membership makes it relatively harder for certain groups, there’s a problem. If you don’t believe that certain groups experience bias, by all means, give me your references and I’ll take a look at them.
On the other hand, if you don’t care about empirical evidence, and you just prefer to pretend that there’s no such thing as bias because it makes you feel better, by all means, just say so.
So can door opening just not be seen as show of respect?
I open the door for elderly people,male or female as well.
It’s just common manners and courtesy.
I fully comprehend that everyone is capable of opening their own doors,I just feel that courtesy makes the world a better place and it’s how I was raised.
By the way,I’m 41,so maybe I’m considered to be
an old dog.

Oh, and on a side note, they make pink tasers. I want one so I can tase the scary guys in alleys that will try to rape me, and the guys that open doors for me. :)[/quote]
Jeez you’re harsh; I can just imagine the scenario…
Man enters building, sees BG behind him, holds door for her Buckeye Girl: “You male chauvinist pig!!” tases him
I don’t know where you live, but I hope it’s not in NE! I’d prefer not to get tased without being aware what I was doing was offensive.

Just curious, what do “women” and “eldery people” ahve in common that leads you to consider them comparable?

No point debating this, so let’s just make it simple.
Question: when it comes to employment, do white men enjoy privilege over blacks, latinos and/or women?
If yes: There is privilege
If no: provide evidence
Easy enough, right?

A lot of people were raised into chivilrous values, being courteous to women and the elderly is often part of that.

You speak of group membership like white males have a weekly meeting with refreshments at the end where we keep the minorities down.
And don’t put words in my mouth. Just because you do not understand or agree with my point of view does mean I’m living in fairy land because it makes me feel better. If you don’t have a legitimate argument, don’t make one at all.
