They’re calling it the “pus*ypass,” online these days. It’s the terminology for when a woman gets a free pass for something where a man would probably be arrested, or attacked. It’s female privilege! But wait, don’t women have it rough in modern society? Well, not when it comes to the American justice system. (This one chart here will help you check your male privilege too, just to be fair.)
In Russia, a woman is seen pushing pedestrians with her vehicle on the street, getting out of her car and attacking them, and when the police arrive… guess what? They let her go.
But hey, this is Russia, you might say. That’s true. At least in the United Kingdom women are no longer to be immune from crimes committed while in the presence of their husbands. So maybe this is just the universal pretty girl privilege? Who knows. What we really need is a bit of nuance in this discussion. Wouldn’t you agree? Some wouldn’t. Some people will never check their privilege. And maybe that’s how it should be.
