252. I wasn't asking you to 'go over something that basic'
I have seen lists like that, and I remain unimpressed. The very first one seems wrong in my experience, even down to the last job I applied for.

It may thus be true that we do not agree on the basics. Unless there are observations or facts even more basic. I gave some facts for this:

8. I am not taught to fear walking alone after dark in average public spaces.

Crime rates against men being higher than crime rates against women, maybe men should be taught to fear walking alone.

and this one:

7. If I'm a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds of being raped are so low as to be negligible.

Seems to glide right over the male privilege of "having a better chance of being in prison, being in the military, or being in a dangerous job". Also, the privileged existence of males is so great that a much larger percentage of them kill themselves.

But let's not go round and round on this side topic.
