The smart ones would never announce the fact.

Why not? It would get them special treatment everywhere. A power redditor even admitted to me that she abuses being a woman to get attention and favorable treatment.

Yes, you can consider unsolicited harassment "special treatment," but women who are actually women already have plenty and don't want more. Those who consider it "favorable treatment" are still under the delusion that male sexual attention is in short supply or is of any value.

You must think female privilege is derived entirely from men simping. That does play a huge role, but the main cause is something called the Women are Wonderful Effect. There is a biological instinct to care for women far more than men, for some complicated reasons having to do with the nature of reproduction. It is not only men, but also women who are affected by this and favor women over men. Both men and women would shoot a thousand men before they'd lay a finger on a woman. Both are very forgiving of women but want to punish men way more than what fits the crime. We think of women as precious, expensive, fragile objects. But men are just cheap products and easily replaceable.

I know you want to be a woman, but you're a lot. Women are considered objects. Yup, that's the truth in your statement. We have reduced them from whole person to object. The worst part is the object that they are is a sex object.

Men aren't a product. They aren't in any way. I know you feel like as a man you don't have value, but that's not how society sees men. They are the whole humans, and the ones who reduce women to other and object.

Everyone is considered an object. Women are much finer and more valuable objects, whereas men are cheap replaceable ones. That's how the reproduction economy works. I speak of nature, not society. Think of how many babies each can have. It's also why men see women as sex objects, because their own sex drive drives them nuts. Women who've mistakenly taken testosterone often comment things as extreme as "I completely get why men rape now". If men actually had purposes other than being sperm donors maybe they wouldn't be so messed up. It's literally a lethal drug.

All of this bleeds into society, but the root of the issue is nature.
