Matt Walsh: An open letter to liberal feminists

One of the ironies of America is that women, who live longer, get more education, are treated better by the criminal justice and education systems and so on and so forth are presented as 'victims' of the evil patriarchy.  The 'Ban Bossy' is the latest execrable example. Perhaps that was true in the past but it is not true now.  Matt Walsh lays out the thoughtful, coherently argued and respectful argument here.

Everyone knows that men are infinitely more likely to go to prison, but did you know they even receive longer sentences for the same crimes? Indeed, women convicted on the same charges are twice as likely to avoid incarceration altogether.

Is this what you call “male privilege”?

Privileged to be drugged as a child, expelled from school as a teenager, and incarcerated as an adult? Privileged to bad grades, a psychiatric diagnosis, and an early death?

Sure, you can argue your case by throwing around the same old misleading statistics. How much money does a woman make for every dollar a man makes? Is it 77 now? 81? It doesn’t matter. Better question: how did you arrive at that figure.

Wait, do you even know how you arrived at that figure?

Must read internet.
