Can anyone suggest a good male privilege checklist?

I don't mean the one at Alas, A Blog... but an actually comprehensive one that's at least as good as Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.

My standard comeback is always something like 'yeah, because people perceived to be feminine males never have any trouble because they're so privileged'.

Btw, I bahleeted the tranny_rage post because I didn't want people to think that I was bashing SCC. It really is a great conference, it's just that a lot of things are run by older or more traditional binary-ID'd t-women and crossdressers. There was actually a guy who was complaining about the 'political humor' of some of the presenters. This sounds shitty, but the logic of how a guy with red painted toenails and French-tipped fingernails and earrings can still be a Republican eludes me. Hell, how any trans person or CD can be okay with either party eludes me. The Dems aren't much better, but some are better than others. The GOPers will tell you one thing but when it comes to putting up or shutting up, they'll shut up or cut and run.

There's no arguing. I learned the other day that drag queens are masculine middle-class white men who have prosperous jobs and expensive cars.

I'm not okay with the Democrats, but I want Obama to win. Much preferable.

Oh, and people were bashing SCC and not, say, that stupid flier? :(

Oh, no they weren't at all. But a lot of those concerns were addressed. The handout thing...I didn't even go there because so many of the organizers and board members are over 50 and tend to be traditionally binary and don't understand all this academic stuff about privilege and so on. I just didn't want my intentions to be misread as bashing the conference as a whole and I didn't want it to go that route. The environment of it is supportive and I definitely plan to go back next year and there are a lot of people who feel similarly wrt privilege and gender expression and not stigmatizing sex workers and so on.
