My sister posted the meme (it was on Omega a week ago) regarding how it is white privilege to get pulled over by a police officer and not fear for your life only a ticket on Facebook.

I replied with a slightly nicer more nuanced version of my post here

Same stats same sources same basic argument. HOLY FUCK the angry response it got. First was that female privilege isn't a thing, to point this out the majority of women saying this were well off and lived in stunning homes having spent most of their adult lives raising children at home while husbands worked. I know this because I know them and I know their husbands. Then came the racism arguments as I had suggested total numbers and not per capita numbers which to be fair has some merit in that they are twice as likely to be shot by a cop compared to race assumes all death by cops were committed by white cops and that the cop knew the race of the person he was shooting at. At this point the argument shifted to how they would rather be a white male than a native woman and how my post was an assault on native women which I pointed out actually has a higher solve rate in Canada than white male murders and missing posting the link to the RCMP paper on the topic and ... yup I was now blocked and dropped across the board.

to be fair at least half of these women have run for school trustees at one time or another and I assume all of them belong to a single political persuasion. But it goes to show the bias in perception that comes from peoples political views and worse that when actually provided data they will shake their heads violently screaming I CAN'T HEAR YOU rather than listen to reason.

To all my sisters friends... you aged look like hell and you better kiss your husbands ass every night because half of them see the pictures where I live and know they can dump you for a girl half your age and waste size and live like kings ...
