Reply #16: Well, being a white man is a higher status than being gay.

As a woman I've found that men will always use their male privilege to prove they are "better" than women.

I was the only woman in a week long technical class taught by a disabled man who had MS. He had some difficulty walking and speaking. Nevertheless he managed to prove his "machismo" in the class by poking fun at me and trying to make me look stupid in front of all the men. It was really kind of sexist and pathetic but I figured his ego must really get kicked around a lot because of the disease.

So a nondisabled female is still lower than a male with MS. Go figure.
