Are there privileges we have that we're blind to?

The entire world is our urinal :)

While I wouldn't call it a privilege per se, I'd think that one of the benefits of being a man is that, whenever there is a problem, people turn to the man first to fix it. Hardly ever the woman.

There is an implicit and explicit assumption that "the man can fix it," when the choice is between a man and a woman of equal disposition.

This is an advantage, because this shows that, despite all the propaganda that says otherwise, there's a certain confidence in male power that comes from simply being male.

But it is also a curse, because when something doesn't work, it is the man that gets the blame, even when the man could do little, or didn't do anything at all.

One of the reasons MGTOW is so effective is because it deprives society of people to fix problems, and people to ascribe blame to, as we are not around to fill either roles.

Having a male brain and body that builds muscle, focuses easily, doesn't leak, gets shit done, etc

Supposedly we can walk around without reasonable fear of being molested by others, which in my part of the world holds true, but I would say its rare if ever that a woman in my parts is ever attacked or raped, I don't know if this holds true in larger metro areas or not.

We don't have to invest time, effort, money, or emotions into the shell game that is "dating".

You know, I was thinking about this the other day. Not so much privilege, but incorrect perspectives on things.

I was listening to Paul Joseph Watson and he was talking about Sharia law and how hypocritical feminists are for pushing it. He was pointing out how it's contrary to freedom for females and because of that, it ends the argument.

But it doesn't end the argument. We keep presuming that women want freedom and equality because that's what they say, and it's rational.

The MGTOW male understands that what a woman might say counts for nothing and that it's more important to watch what they do. We also understand that equality is a myth and so we look at this through a possibly incorrect notion of patriarchal sensibilities. It is generally men who yearn for freedom (though that perspective may be shrinking).

I think we're blind to what women are really telling us through their actions and what compels them to speak. Why wouldn't they want freedom? I don't know, I guess because true freedom is scary and there are no guarantees or safety nets.

We've treated western women so gently, with too much sensitivity and care. We've patronized them to the point we believe the narrative pushers, and now women are lashing out because, like children, their shit tests are boundary sensors. I think somewhere inside them they abhor equality. We know for a fact they certainly do not want the downsides of equality.

I think they want to be dominated and put in their place. Even with that possible understanding, I still opt out and seek freedom because I don't want to raise an adult child, so women need to learn how to be adults before I interact with them with any sense of equality.
