Can anyone suggest a good male privilege checklist?

[lisaquestions]

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.

all i've got is cisgender privilege bingo.

...but why?

Yeah, that's part of what inspired The Problem with "Privilege"...maybe I should link to it more explicitly. But I haven't had the sense that they care.

I was actually looking for such a list to be like, hmm, how did passing as/living as male affect my life and shape me? What privilege was that... and that one...I got nothin'. Like, there's nothing (almost nothing) you can look at and be like, yup that happens in my life or nope, it doesn't...

late to the party, as usual...

Is this any use?

I'll have to formulate my thoughts on this on my next desk shift at work.

But all the reading I've been doing lately...on lj and the like...it just reminds me of a recent experience of cissexual priviledge that I'm going to have to rant about.

As far as "male priviledge" checklist...I'd like to have one, too...make up a grid like the Bingo one above.

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.
