[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men die sooner than women, work in more dangerous conditions than women, finish college less than women, and still are systematically discriminated against in society.  Women, especially white and upper class women, are the most coddled people in our society.

So maybe men need an ERA.[/quote] This. It is time to stop the war on men. You don't correct a wrong by creating a new one.[/quote]

How is asking to for a statement of equality for all a war on men? So are you saying that equality for women poses a threat to men? Yes, maybe you're right. White men have relied on privilege and entitlement in this country for centuries. So you're saying that that shouldn't change. [/quote]

And white women have relied on that privilege and entitlement as well (by being their husbands/daughters), while white MEN were the ones to die in wars and at work, while women stayed home with the kids.  Who's more privileged?  Who paid the higher price for America's success?

Any white, upper middle class or upper class woman who DARES to mention "privilege" for anyone needs to be smacked down, hard.[/quote]

Wow. Just wow. You are a sexist and a racist. You completely make the argument for why there must be an ERA. 
[/quote]

Just as sexist and racist as the PP a couple of posts earlier that ranted on about white men privilege. If you don't see the hypocrisy in that that is rich.[/quote]

To not view white men as the privileged class in this country is sheer stupidity. You are fighting the facts. Do a Google search - you'll have a vast array of links to choose from. [/quote]

Racist. I want equality for all. And personally I think white women are even more privileged in the country than men.[/quote]

Facts and citation please.[/quote]
