An American woman has sparked fierce debate online after coming across a “female privilege” checklist on Reddit.
Cece, who posts under the TikTok handle @dontcecemedecided to share the controversial list – which included “getting a lighter sentence for the same crime” and getting custody of children in divorce – with his supporters and argue against each point.
The video has already been viewed by more than 320,000 people and garnered more than a thousand comments.
She told her followers: “Some men’s rights activists recently discovered my account and want to talk about female privilege.
“Great, I went to their sub-Reddit and found this huge list of reasons why I’m privileged – let’s look at it.”
American woman spared fierce online debate after stumbling across ‘female privilege’ checklist on Reddit
Pulling out a screenshot of the Reddit post, she went over some of the points and filed a complaint against them.
The TikToker read: “On average, I will be punished much later for the same crime. There are many factors that go into sentencing and I can’t find clear data on this.
“Men commit more crimes, more violent crimes, and they are more likely to reoffend. I do not know what to tell you.
“Not everyone commits a crime, but everyone has to go to work, so I’m more concerned about the gender pay gap or whatever.”
The second point is that: “premenstrual syndrome is generally considered an extenuating circumstance”.
Cece replied, “Go to an adult human woman and tell her that you think she’s privileged because she’s on her period.” Go ahead, try it, good luck.
She continued: “Third, I am not expected to go to war or even be drafted into the army. You too, the project hasn’t been used for 50 years.
“And it was created by a man in the 19th century, when government was populated by men because no women had ever been elected and women couldn’t even vote.”
Cece, who posts under the TikTok handle @dontceceme, decided to share the controversial list with her followers and dispute every point.
She then referred to marks number six and seven, which assert that women’s words carry “more weight” when it comes to sex crimes including rape, as being “borderline delusional and offensive”.
Continuing, the American read: “Number eight, I can look at children for more than three seconds without fear of being labeled a pedophile.
“Why do we have to look at children? Why is your concern labeled pedophilia and not child safety? Pedophiles can be of any gender.
“Number nine, I agree that the media needs to do a better job of covering cases of abuse in which the abuser is an adult woman and the victim is a teenager or teenage boy.
“There are way too many headlines that say ‘teacher had affair with student’, it’s disgusting. However, according to rain.org, 88 percent of the time, CSAs are committed by a man, and 9 percent of the time, by a woman.
She added: “And there are many, many reasons why a case will not go to court. Numbers 11 and 12 – If I divorce, I will get custody or I will get alimony.
“Alimony is not a female privilege – anyone can have to pay child support and anyone can get custody.
“Yes, the courts tend to favor the woman, but they look at who is the primary caregiver, who is responsible for most of the daily responsibilities.
After getting through only half of the post, the comments were flooded with fellow women angry at the divisive list.
“Number 13: There is a lot more fundraising for breast cancer research than for prostate or testicular cancer. They are cancer patients, none of them are privileged. Give them all as much money as they want.
“Plus, men can also get breast cancer, and it’s more common.”
Towards the end, she continued: “Number 14, if I marry a rich man, I don’t have to work and people will say I’m successful. We always make fun of gold prospectors, what are you talking about?
Number 15 on the Reddit list claims that women are “always protected from genital mutilation,” which Cece says “simply isn’t true.”
She continues: “Number 20: I can fight for my gender issues without fear of being labeled a whiny sexist or a chauvinistic pig.” We also make fun of feminists, what are you talking about?
’21, everyone, from a young age, is taught not to hit me. No one should hit anyone.
In 2022, due to accusations of sexism, many establishments now preferentially or exclusively hire women. This is not true, you cannot discriminate based on gender.
After getting through only half of the post, the comments were flooded with fellow women angry at the divisive list.
One user asked: “Literally where can rules be used as an excuse? »
A second insisted: “Courts actually favor men in child custody cases where custody is contested. Most women get custody because men don’t ask for it. ‘
Meanwhile, a third added: “These men need to ask themselves a simple question: ‘Who set up this system?’ »
Others replied: “‘Female privilege’ and it’s just a bunch of patriarchal rules lol” and “I don’t know about you ladies, but I’ve never been able to use my rules to get out. Not even my first, I still had to go to school.
Another remarked: “Men’s rights campaigner is the most insane phrase I’ve ever heard.”
Someone else added: “Female privilege are little nuggets of rare answers to a system created by men for men, while male privilege is pervasive and exists in almost every aspect of life. »
