Do autistic men have more priviledge than NT women?

Post Reply New Topic

Excuse me while I go check my priviledge that I lack but I guess I do have priviledge because of the basis on my gender and orientation! Exxcuse my after I have just finished crying like a whiny b***h and go smoke a cigarette! People are as*holes and monsters, not everyone is but sometimes it is hard to tell especially after gaining trust only be destroyed afterwards. Take my advice, dont be an as*hole, don't abuse and rape someone, don't beat someone it is common sense ffs! Perhaps my priviledge will get me a discount at Jack in the Box, that would be nice! Oh well cant blame me for for trying to throw a little humor over this mess I just want to lighten things up...The priviledge and discount at Jack in the box was meant to be funny feel free to laugh, I was trying to be funny. I don't like being sad anymore, being sad sucks!*sigh* Of course autistic men aren't more privedge over NT women that was a dick move and unfair and my venting against sexism and ignoring autists problems paired with males as rare as it is who get screwed over and abused and ignored. NT women face problems and they should be not ignored either, I have been a jerk by venting over my own problems.

I guess your right, I dont fit into that mold, I am white yes, I am male yes but I have autism and to have me just as priviledged as an NT white male just as priviledged is unfair, and I felt I was supposed to hit that same category regardless of being autistic and the result of being bullied and vilified by both men and women so stood up like i am supposed to be priviledged as such and take all the blame and vilification of it on top ot the bullying and abuse!

I'm going to ignore all the vitriol and answer the topic question. The main fallacy is trying to quantitative privilege, different privileges are qualitatively different. However, I would say that at least in Western society you're more likely to be discriminated against for being autistic than for being a woman. The reason that get's overlooked is because ableism gets overlooked for other forms of discrimination because the other forms are more discussed, which relates back to ableism being more severe. That means that unfortunately it's our job to get ableism recognized. Anyway, autism does make it more likely for someone to be raped or sexually assaulted, male or female, not sure if it makes you more likely to be raped than being a woman though.

How about this: neither group has privilege. That's the truth. Arguing who has more or less is pointless since they both get screwed.

AspieOtaku, I used to find you a very confusing poster, but I think I'm starting to understand what's going on with you. I have history of abuse too, not at the hands of women, but parents and caretakers. When I was very young I had a tendency to look for stories similar to mine and ended up looking at most parents and people who wanted children as selfish, vile and entitled. See, that kind of attitude validated my experience in some way and gave me a bit of relief in the moment. But it also filled me with hatred and skewed my view of the world. I'm in a very different place now, but I still avoid the Parent's forum here sometimes, because I find many posts there quite horrible. Instead of getting angry, I try to keep in mind that some are probably frustrated and tired and sometimes I'm just projecting and misreading what they're saying. And some are indeed just a***holes. So what?

I think your obsession with a very small group of "feminists" with extreme and warped views is similar to what I used to do. And I think you keep pouring salt on your wounds instead of looking to heal. Maybe you blame yourself for what happened to you and try to find a "logical" explanation for it, a reason it happened to you and not me for example, just as I used to try to find out why my parents made me than almost killed me. Was I a monster, impossible to love? Were they the monsters, were all parents monsters in disguise? The truth is, there is no "logical" explanation for such things, you didn't cause them and often the abusers themselves don't know why they act that way. Also most women don't hate men and don't want to harm or exterminate them, and thinking they are isn't going to ease your pain. Try to accept that you just ran into a horrible person who took advantage of you, it's neither your fault nor the fault of women in general.

I hope this won't upset you, I'm not blaming you and understand very well how hard and scary it is, the healing process can be very long and painful in itself. But I can also tell you from experience that the alternative is worse and extremely self-destructive.

Try to find some kind of help that works for you and give yourself a break once in a while, all that shame and blame you put on yourself can end up crushing you. And stay away from all that hateful drivel you find online, it's poisoning you and distorting reality. Seriously.

Like the common saying from Rick and Morty! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub! You want to know the meaning? Ask Bird person! Of course in his language it means "i am in great pain, please help me.".

WTF cant people learn not to be abusive, bully and rape people? Why cant people learn not to be sexisists, abiliests and racists? Why cant most people learn not to rape abuse and control people? I wish to know and when rape happens more to women then men and yet when it happens to men it is laughed at and ignored? We are people too we are the minority of the issue at hand but it does happen and we get abused as well, even by women but there are no shelters for men and counceling is lacking and most folks like myself have to get over it ourselves. I am kind of a special case I have been abused by a man and both raped and abused by a woman, I do exist, I never got real help over it and have had to get over it myself and man up! That is society of things!

The world is a sick sad place to live in and full of hate, that encourages rape and suicide, it is a sh***y world there is no reason to keep on living, but I do keep living, why do I do it? I tried killing myself to free myself from this hell but have been prevented from doing so, does the world wish me to suffer more for eternity for being born? Why do people not want me to die and end my misery? I keep on living now although at times I dont want to anymore because people keep intervening. I am just destined to keep living on and suffering.
