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?

I agree with your list except for...

I agree with your list of female priviledges except for the "victim of a violent crime" one. I consider rape a violent crime, whether it be date rape, or gun at head rape, etc.

So, that one I disagree with.

The rest are very good. I may think of more...both lists.

Thank you.

Well, statistically, adult women are more likely to be raped. But, even including rape, men are more likely to be victims of "violent crime" as a class of criminal acts.

Interesting. Where did you get your stats?

there's a link to Federal stats in the list I compiled.

addendum: The link I cited above (here again, for reference) includes "rape" as part of the category of "violent crime".
