> it's really hard to say one sex is more privileged than the other, rather than just privileged differently

I don't think it's that hard. There are unfair privileges to either gender, but the male ones are vastly larger.

This kind of claim (regardless of which direction you're making the claim in) ony makes sense if you reduce "privilege" into a single dimension. Which I don't think you can.

No it doesn't. 500-dimensional vectors have lengths.
