I want to encourage all of my friends to take my latest poll. It's been interesting to read all of the different discussions in various posts this week in my journal. Thanks to all of you for making this journal an active (I even want to say vivacious) place.

So, after you've taken the poll, please read further:

I did a bit of Google digging and found out that "B. Deutsch" is indeed a man, or at least that's what I assume from the person's name. B stands for Barry. The list was published online here at Expository Magazine in 2004 (although some versions of it were known online before then, because I saw a discussion of it dated to 2003).

Here is Mr. Deutsch's biography.

For those who thought that the author of the article was a woman, does your reading of the article change now that you know otherwise?

Absolutely so.

This is actually why I have resisted the urge to draw up a list of female privileges- I think it really would just be counterproductive.

I would actually be very interested in seeing your list of privileges.

Ditto that, novapsyche.

I think i'll try to come up with a list of transsexual privilege. It could be a very interesting exercise...
