In the US, Gallup data shows that after decades where the sexes were each spread roughly equally across liberal and conservative world views, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male contemporaries. That gap took just six years to open up.
Germany also now shows a 30-point gap between increasingly conservative young men and progressive female contemporaries, and in the UK the gap is 25 points. In Poland last year, almost half of men aged 18-21 backed the hard-right Confederation party, compared to just a sixth of young women of the same age.

This article sort of reminded me how hard it is to recognise our own privilege(s). I believe in order for systemic changes to take place this is a necessity. So I thought of sharing a link that contains A List Of Privilege Lists. You might also like to take a look at a critic that can be found at the bottom of the page.
If anyone has a better / more extensive list, could you please share?
I’d also like to share a Peggy McIntosh Ted talk. She mainly goes through her process of how she came up with this approach, and I thought it was amazing in an unexpected way.
