Yet statistically speaking you are much more likely to:
Get accepted into college
Get hired for a job
Get approved for a loan
Have a better car, health and home insurance quote.
Be promoted
Be elected
etc.... etc....
So yeah, WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE

Nope. Women are much more likely to get accepted into a college, get hired, or approved for a loan.

The problem is the incentives and privileges had nothing to do with socioeconomic groups. Just because a certain race, gender, creed is statistically more likely to be in the lower class doesn't mean that I should have to work harder when I'm white male and was brought up by a single parent who makes less than $25,000 a year. It should be based on merit and it's not. I'm more in debt than any other group.

Also, there is no wage gap. Statistics don't lie. How you analyze statistics lie.

Stop playing the victim and do something about it.

Stop being the victim huh? I have been discriminated by a loan officer before. Has that happened to you? My husband, with a lower credit score than mine, less credit history, etc... got approved over me for a loan.
I have been discriminated by an employer during hiring. Has that happened to you? I was told they were concerned because I recently had a child. What if the kid gets sick they asked? What if he gets in trouble at daycare and I have to leave work to come get him? Will I be reliable? These are ridiculous questions that my husband or any male is never asked. Even though the man should share in the childcare or god forbid a single dad... do they ask men these questions? Of course not.
It should be based on merit, thats the problem. We both know that women can work as hard as men in many positions, such as management. You think if a workforce is comprised of 50/50 female to male, but management is 10/90, that you think its because only those men were promoted on merit and the women just didnt work hard enough. PLEASE.
And no stats dont lie. As studies show, a minority applicant with the EXACT same qualifications as the next will be turned down for employment. Even during a BLIND TEST, meaning they didnt meet the applicants themselves. They went further and found that a white male with less credentials and experience was still hired over a minority with better ones.
How can you explain a female in the same position, at the same company, doing the same work, for the same length of time, be paid less than her male counterpart. HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
You sound like a smart guy. Im glad that you have worked hard for what you have, I have too. Im over $30,000 in student debt so I know how you feel. But you honestly cannot turn a blind eye can you? I mean these are real things happening to me, and other women out there, and minorities as well. Its really not fair. Thats where this whole white male privilege thing comes in. I dont want to be given better treatment then you, I just want EQUAL treatment and everything under the sun shows thats not the case.

I'm not saying that people aren't discriminated against. I'm all for equality. The establishment wants us divided because we can't stand up to them that way. I'm all for seeking out issues that are unequal if a better qualified person is able. At my job literally ALL of my team leaders and middle managers are female. Companies that discriminate should be exposed but thats not always the case most companies don't do this. Especially union jobs.

http://time.com/3222543/5-feminist-myths-that-will-not-die/ - an article in TIME magazine that sides with me on wage gap because of poor statistical analysis. #5 out lines this.

Thank you for actually being apart of the first wave of feminism btw because you're following the dictionary definition.

Men get discriminated against with car insurance and it could be based on merit, but it's not. Don't even get me started on divorce cases. Men get screwed every single time. If Jesus had a wife and kids, even He would get screwed.

There's discrimination on both sides, but some statements are more true than others. For example, people wonder why minorities are the ones that go to prison most for nonviolent crimes. Well it has to do with socioeconomic group, past offenses etc not race studies show. It's turned in to a race war.

I'm sorry if these things have truly happened to you. I still truly think you are in the minority of women that this happens to. Women will start to move more into management once my generation starts getting older because we are an educated ambitious group mostly kind of maybe lol

btw i have been discrimated against in office jobs because I had a beard. It's a part of my biology. It shouldn't make a difference.
