A good one, thanks to elnigma:

The Male Privilege Checklist

Agree with it or not, if you've got two brain cells to rub together, it should make you think.

That list made me want to cry.

There's a gender bias inherent in crying, too.

Um, yep. I find that as I get older, it's significantly easier to cry, indeed to access all the emotions without fear or blocking -- perhaps getting further away from childhood programming.

I've always been very sensitive and cry very easily. It's part of my comfort/self-comfort routine. But I also got teased for it, and in older life I find that women get accused of being emotionally manipulative when they cry -- a thought that never occurred to me. It usually takes me a long while to even be OK with someone seeing me cry.
