[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have just along with it.  [b]It's customary for the oldest male to assume the "pater familias" role [/b]and say a  few words of thanks before a meal.  If you find that strange, well, you will have a hard row to hoe b/c you are really swimming upsteam against a lot of tradition.  Good luck. [/quote]

It's also customary for women to stay home and care for children.  However, the fact that I'm posting from work tells you that someone had to say, someone swam upstream against that tradition at somepoint.

Bingo! That's the "assumed privilege" part of it. Of course it's perfectly natural for the eldest Christian white male to compel everyone to hold hands and say grace to the Christian deity. Just as it would have been utterly unnatural for a woman, Jew, or Wiccan to have done so.

Same shit with "white privilege", "male privilege", etc... Stop swimming upstream against tradition and get me a beer, woman![/quote]

As a woman, I'm way to smart to swim upstream.  You get me a beer, man.[/quote]
