In reply to Jim Fraser: to start with "To be a white, middle-class male in this society is to live without a certain sort of scrutiny that people from other demographics grow up expecting.."
The white middle-class male, aka: the only demographic that can be mislabelled with more prejudice than any other group, and to top it off we have none for us to cry out about.
I'm not sure about middle class but I know for certain I have been scrutinised as a racist(that's right I'm playing the race card now), sexist, ageist and elitist. Probably a ton of other prejudices without realising it, and has it been realistic to claim to be a victim, No.
As far as the rest of the article goes, my mother used to tip out my draws and turn over my bed to discard my, erm.... hobby magazines, booze and my erm inflatable hats.
Not sure how that differs from using modern technology to protect and disciplined your child in your home, especially when they can use that tech to misbehave. Privacy is a privilege that comes with trusts when living at home, should my parents have trusted me or my sisters, definitely not. Did my mother always find something, yes. If she didn't she would have trusted me.
