  Even if the actual measurement is 1 in 6 rapes-AND-attempted-rapes, that’s still horrible, and still connotes chronic psychological trauma to an entire category of human being.

  That’s a very fascinating and insightful way to think about this issue.

  Why would you reference a list of “female privilege” that includes circumcision? That’s not exactly helping you prove your point.

  Attractive women in present society may have more power than less-attractive women, but they’re at no less of an economic disadvantage in the final breakdown of how much pay each gender receives for equal work. Women are also judged far more harshly when their looks fade than are men.

  It does seem like exceptionally attractive women have a lot of power, but their opportunities are corralled by their looks as well. They are more likely to be seen as sex objects ahead of any other capacities they may have.
