BECAUSE, ROGER! BECAUSE THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS ‘FEMALE PRIVILEGE’ IN THIS SOCIETY! WHAT YOU’RE THINKING OF IS WHAT WE CALL ‘BENEVOLENT SEXISM’ BECAUSE IT EXISTS ONLY WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED FRAMEWORK OF AN ALREADY CORRUPT PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM. BEING REWARDED FOR NOT SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT IS NOT THE SAME THING. THE EXISTENCE OF A REWARD ISN’T PROOF OF PRIVILEGE BUT RATHER A MEANS FOR THE GREATER NARRATIVE OF SEXISM TO PERPETUATE ITSELF BY OFFERING CRUMBS FROM A LARGER MEAL. INSTITUTIONAL POWER IS STILL WHAT YOUR GENDER HOLDS OVER US IN ALL ASPECTS OF DAILY LIFE, AND UNTIL THOSE WALLS ARE LEVELED THE THINGS YOU SEE AS THE ‘BENEFITS’ OF BEING A WOMAN ARE ONLY FEATHERED SHACKLES!

SO I SHOULDN’T HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR YOU, IS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.

YES! NO! I DON’T KNOW!
