Crikkett:
1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed.
Reams and reams of data attest to this, and to (almost) every other career-related item on the list. If you want to see it, the Census bureau has plenty, although in some cases -- as with the one immediately below -- there are links to further elaboration in the original.
2. I can be confident that my co-workers won’t think I got my job because of my sex – even though that might be true. (More).
See above.
3. If I am never promoted, it’s not because of my sex.
Ditto.
4. If I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won’t be seen as a black mark against my entire sex’s capabilities.
Well. If there's any reason to think that men are unsure about whether their professional failures will throw the competency of the entire gender into question, I'm unaware of it.
5. I am far less likely to face sexual harassment at work than my female co-workers are. (More).
As a general rule, reams and reams of data.
6. If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job.
As stated, I don't actually know. But since it's definitely true that the chances are that he'd be paid more, it sounds reasonable.
7. If I’m a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds of being raped are relatively low. (More).
That's true.
8. On average, I am taught to fear walking alone after dark in average public spaces much less than my female counterparts are.
That's also true.
9. If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be called into question.
If this is one of your 1/3-false-stereotyping items, please point me to the evidence for this being a culture that views childless men as less manly, I'd be interested to see it.
10. If I have children but do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be called into question.
Ditto for the scorning of men who do not provide primary care for their children as sissies.
11. If I have children and provide primary care for them, I’ll be praised for extraordinary parenting if I’m even marginally competent. (More).
Hammer of Los, see that "(More)"?
In the original, it's a link.
I even put each sentence on its own separate line for you.
12. If I have children and a career, no one will think I’m selfish for not staying at home.
I guess the mother of those children might. But as a general rule, I wouldn't say that men who don't give up their careers to stay home with the kids are regarded as selfish.
Crikkett? 1/3?
13. If I seek political office, my relationship with my children, or who I hire to take care of them, will probably not be scrutinized by the press.
Crikkett (or anybody) --
In what universe is this not true?
14. My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious and powerful the elected position, the more this is true.
As anyone with functioning senses is aware.
15. When I ask to see “the person in charge,” odds are I will face a person of my own sex. The higher-up in the organization the person is, the surer I can be.
As stated, I don't know. However, as a general rule, the odds that a person in any organization is male do increase the higher up the organizational ladder you go.
16. As a child, chances are I was encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters. (More).
Link in original.
17. As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of children’s media featuring positive, active, non-stereotyped heroes of my own sex. I never had to look for it; male protagonists were (and are) the default.
Is this different in the Bay Area?
18. As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often. (More).
Link in original.
19. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether or not it has sexist overtones.
As a general rule, it's unlikely that the kinds of misfortune suggested by the phrase "I'm having a bad day, week or year" -- ie, bad luck at work, in love, and/or wrt health -- are due to sexism when they happen to men. And that's a fully supportable statement.
There are many kinds of misfortune that are likelier to afflict men than they are women for non-sexist but gender-specific reasons, however.
20. I can turn on the television or glance at the front page of the newspaper and see people of my own sex widely represented.
Unless someone has a quarrel with this, I'm not going to bother to argue for its truth.
21. If I’m careless with my financial affairs it won’t be attributed to my sex.
I'll donate this one to the opposition, if they want it.
22. If I’m careless with my driving it won’t be attributed to my sex.
There is no stereotyped "bad male driver," afaik.
23. I can speak in public to a large group without putting my sex on trial.
Women in public roles are judged as women. Men in public roles are not judged as men, but as people. If you have an argument with that proposition, please state it and supply examples.
24. Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.” (More).
Argue with the link.
25. I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability. (More).
Ditto.
26. My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than women’s clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a woman’s without tailoring. (More).
Ditto.
27. The grooming regimen expected of me is relatively cheap and consumes little time. (More).
Ditto.
28. If I buy a new car, chances are I’ll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car. (More).
Ditto.
29. If I’m not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.
That's a stupid thing to say, when put that way. I won't defend it.
30. I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.
Mind-numbingly copious data attests.
31. I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that kind of violence is called “crime” and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called “domestic violence” or “acquaintance rape,” and is seen as a special interest issue.)
How is this not true?
32. I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. “All men are created equal,” mailman, chairman, freshman, he.
Same question.
33. My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is.
Please.
34. I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or questioned if I don’t change my name.
It might not strike you as all that big of a deal. And in a vacuum, it might not be one. But it's true. And it's not in a vacuum.
35. The decision to hire me will not be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.
See items 9, 10 and 12.
36. Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is pictured as male.
True that.
37. Most major religions argue that I should be the head of my household, while my wife and children should be subservient to me.
Likewise.
38. If I have a wife or live-in girlfriend, chances are we’ll divide up household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks. (More).
See link.
39. If I have children with my girlfriend or wife, I can expect her to do most of the basic childcare such as changing diapers and feeding.
Women still do most of that kind of work, generally speaking. It's still mostly regarded as women' work, in fact.
40. If I have children with my wife or girlfriend, and it turns out that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids, chances are we’ll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.
That one's arguably padding, as the components of it have already been listed.
41. Assuming I am heterosexual, magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are rarer.
That's true even assuming that you're not heterosexual, buddy. But point taken.
42. In general, I am under much less pressure to be thin than my female counterparts are. (More). If I am fat, I probably suffer fewer social and economic consequences for being fat than fat women do. (More).
Please see the two -- count 'em, two! -- links.
43. If I am heterosexual, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover. (More).
There's a link there. Crikkett, I'm very much looking forward to seeing how you make your quota.
44. Complete strangers generally do not walk up to me on the street and tell me to “smile.” (More: 1 2).
Link.
45. Sexual harassment on the street virtually never happens to me. I do not need to plot my movements through public space in order to avoid being sexually harassed, or to mitigate sexual harassment. (More.)
Link.
45. On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.
So the studies say.
46. I have the privilege of being unaware of my male privilege.
