  ?When you are the privileged party, you do not get any say as to how you are labelled for your actions?. Powerful.

@GlennF Don’t see how “get no say” is better than “judge on merits” in each case.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten PRIVILEGE

@GlennF Sure, being in majority group means you have to listen when your beliefs are challenged…

@GlennF …but I’ve met too many people (I agree with otherwise) who say I *must* be sexist/racist because I’m w/m. …

@GlennF … I’ll listen to an argument. But it’s an *argument*. Not an assertion that can’t be questioned.

  Wow, PAX Australia essentially has a panel devoted to celebrating white nerd resentment. http://d.pr/q1tC 

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jbouie The more you see people whine about how society?s greater embrace is a form of exclusion, the more you know that?s happening.

@GlennF Hmm. My day to argue w/you, it seems. “Frat boy culture” ? “nonconsent is cool”. At least, not at mine.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten There are frats not devoted to date rate, it is true.

@GlennF No argument that my org engages in many antisocial behaviors. Would prefer folks didn’t lump rape amongst them.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten See also: statistics. In general, Greek culture (not every frat, not every campus) has this problem.

• Jamelle Bouie:
  @GlennF Perhaps. That?s what I think on my more optimistic days, at least.

@GlennF Mine’s the oldest in North America, so I don’t consider myself a part of the “Greek” system?nor know much about it.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten There you go! You won before even playing.

@GlennF But I think you could have made the point without opening this can of worms. No argument: PUAs are sociopaths.

• Anil Dash:
  @jbouie @GlennF I believe it. That we can even have this conversation shows the progress that’s been made.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @anildash @jbouie I try to remain acutely aware of my position on the privilege pyramid, at the apex of color, gender, money, country.

@GlennF You’ve seen @scalzi‘s post, right? SWM is Easy setting: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/straight-white-male-the-lowest-difficulty-setting-there-is/ ?

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten Yup!
