julietI mentioned this to a few people at the weekend, so here are the links:
Article by Peggy McIntosh discussing invisible white privilege (i.e. invisible to white people - the advantages you gain but don't notice)
An imitation of that article discussing invisible male privilege.
And something else I came across recently: an article on women in computer science which covers quite a lot of other issues of societal stereotyping/sexism. Note that it dates from 1991, so the examples are obviously a little old, and I think things *have* moved on - but the underlying argument is still interesting, and I certainly don't think that everything mentioned has been overcome, sadly.
