Black male slaves had more privilege than the white women that owned them? See OP

:russ:Intellectual dumbasses. This is what happens when most people are sheep and just listen to a narrative and take it as gospel.


Just logically thinking, how can a slave, who has to take orders, work in the hot sun from the Crack of dawn, get whipped, raped:francis:, get his manhood taken etc etc have privileged over Becky who is waited on and sips lemonade, probably don't even bathe herself:hhh:

I mean, male privilege was definitely a thing back then regardless of social status, however it's disingenuous to compare the privilege of male slaves to white women. I understand the underlying comparison of womanhood to chattel, but that in itself dismisses a non-enslaved woman's own agency. And I say "non-enslaved" because what does that argument say about enslaved women? Are they saying there's no difference???

I still don't understand the underlying comparison. White womanhood under white male patriarchy in any context shouldn't be compared to black male misery under chattle slavery. There's no "Well, it was sorta, kiiinda similar to actual chattel slavery" context to be had here. Chattle slavery is so evil and insidious, you can't make comparisons in any way, if it wasn't exactly that.

I still don't understand the underlying comparison. Womanhood and the complexities of white womanhood under white male patriarchy doesn't seem right in any context when compared to chattle slavery. There's no "Well, it was sorta, kiiinda similar to actual chattel slavery" Context to be had here. Chattle slavery is so evil and insidious, you can't make comparisons in any way, if it wasn't exactly that.

To be sure, my stance is that it's not a valid comparison, but the underlying argument is that women have just recently been franchised and empowered after a period of being subject to men (their owners). But if a person were to just think briefly about what's being compared then they'd dismiss the argument outright.
