I think the fact that male issues and the injustices that men face get downplayed, dismissed and often straight up denied by society is one of the most aggravating things about it

I'm a man who also belongs to one of the "protected groups" in society that woke people like. I face issues because of me being in that group and I face issues because I'm a man. The "male" issues are harder to face because I get 0 public support and compassion for them. HAVING YOUR ISSUES BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY SOCIETY IS A HUGE PRIVILEGE.

It’s more common for society to believe the opposite of the truth on social matters today. It goes for genders, for races, ethnicities, social issues of all kinds. People have no independent thought, they believe whatever the narrative is and the narrative is generally depicted as things are the way they were 60 years ago.

In reality the pendulum has swung so far the opposite way that anyone under 50 has experienced the exact opposite of what’s is perceived. In gender issues we pretend that the laws and society we live in is one from 1960’s while the truth is women have more rights and advantages

Hmm once a HR lady from a well known space agency in europe told to us students that discrimnating men is fine and is for the greater good and we should not whine because they faced discrimination for centuries.

What i want to say is, it that they deny it or ignore it. Those women are striving for it and it is their goal.

I agree that men’s issue discourse is not treated as seriously as it should be. This is not an excuse or justification; it’s just reality that it would be easier to have that discourse if men’s rights advocates had a working understanding of what privilege means.

Having privilege does not mean that you are oppressing someone else.
Privilege is intersectional; fixating on gender privilege can be oppressive by excluding conversations about other forms of privilege. The concept of privilege comes from studies of race and class.
Related to number 3, privilege is not a binary status of having it or not having it. It’s a continuum.

The language of privilege holds so much value for men’s liberation. I hope people are open to learning more about it.
