Male Privilage
The worksheet entitled "The Male Privilage" by Peggy Mcintosh, has many statements that are agreeable and others not so much. I agree with number 35 (it reads) -
"Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is usually pictured as being male."
I agree with this statment because religion is stongly followed by many and men are the ones who influence more follwers. Priests are usually males and so is the Pope, this being the catholic-christian belief. But in other parts of the world Buddism has the rich and hefty, hairless statue (made of gold most of the time) that is seen as a male. God, (for those who belive in him) is seen as a male often of the time. This is all beacause males have that sense that man came to earth before women therefore the dominet sex. It's a set of mind that has been adopted worldwide.
