'Male privilege is...'

nforne · 2017-10-15T15:41:41+00:00

Then she should strike a blow against male privilege, say, "To hell with it! I'm going to wear the same dress twice!" ...and count the fucks not given.

HeForeverBleeds · 2017-10-15T14:08:08+00:00

It's a double-edged sword, because men have so few fashion options in the first place that they can wear without being shamed as looking lack either a "fag" or a "douche"

mensmod · 2017-10-15T15:29:26+00:00

Wearing a new dress shows your privilege and wealth/status. This isn't something men are looking for in women. Men really don't care about this. This is purely competition between women.

Innercepter · 2017-10-15T15:17:32+00:00

Literally zero men care how many times a girl wears a dress. This is a culture foible women invented, and now she is blaming it on men. What sense does that make?

thedude1019 · 2017-10-15T15:07:21+00:00

Only women care about things like this...toxic feminity?

A guy can't wear a cute dress two days in a row either.

JoeBender1 · 2017-10-15T14:22:47+00:00

Male privilege is getting to have your gender 'norms' defined by the other gender.

Female privilege is being able to define, dictate what a 'real man' is and rejecting and shaming anyone who doesn't measure up to your arbitrary standards.

vatreehugger · 2017-10-15T16:28:34+00:00

My wife has a handful of pricier favorite dresses that she wears often. She likes how cute they make her feel, I like how cute she looks in them, she gets regular compliments on them from her friends, has never been confronted or shamed for wearing something she's already worn before.....but then again, she's not a moron, so I guess that biases her against conventional attitudes towards fashion like this post.

CaptainRaz · 2017-10-15T15:40:59+00:00

She could be naked at events, for all we care.

dogmashah · 2017-10-15T16:21:45+00:00

It is definitely not men that are saying not to wear same dress .May be it's not even girls . It is strategic move by dress companies to make you believe that you should not wear the $$$ costly dress twice . They make a huge profit out of shame that they have created and you fell for it . So don't blame it on men. Start wearing whatever you want honey. no one cares

Hello and welcome to /r/MensRights. If you are not a subscriber, please take a moment to understand what you are seeing.

This subreddit is about the issues faced by men in our society.

We welcome healthy debate and you won't be banned merely for disagreement. It is common here to reject feminist ideology, but that doesn't mean we hate women or oppose equal rights. Rather, we seek to expand those equal rights to include men.

These are some of the best discussions we've had. There is also a documentary made by a feminist who investigated our movement. If you want to know more about the issues we are concerned with, try these books: The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers or The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell.

Thank you for being open minded.

Women can't wear the same dress twice? God almighty, what a struggle. Truly a first-world problem if I ever saw one.

AlmightyZael · 2017-10-15T19:55:13+00:00

I promise you that fashion companies and magazines are loving this retarded wave of man-hate lately. Insecure women come up with insane ideas about what makes men such evil beings, meanwhile companies make money on people buying/clicking poorly written articles, buying yet more "cute shoes" to go with that new dress because "I literally have nothing to wear this Saturday." All the while, the attention isn't on the companies and advertising that makes women feel bad about themselves, or the movies that tell young girls that their lives are boring if there isn't a love triangle/drama/a major dilemma in their lives. It's certainly not a systematic reinforcement of internalized insecurities at all.

Nope, it's just men's fault for being a lot more comfortable with who they are and not giving two fucks if they're wearing the same socks as yesterday or whether there's a mustard stain on their tie.

There's a reason women get 3 huge floors of clothes and accessories to choose from and men get the poorly lit shelf at the back.

James-Sylar · 2017-10-15T18:18:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure there are some douches who do chastise both women and other men if they don't dress up to their standards. regardless of the gender of said douche, their words should be dissmissed.

janetfarrugia · 2017-10-15T14:47:31+00:00

I don't see why you had to add ' straight'. The vast majority of gay men don't care about women's clothes either.

SomeoneStopMePlease · 2017-10-15T16:41:51+00:00

During the week I wear jeans/shorts and usually a t-shirt. I own two pair of khakis and about 4 button ups for special occasions. I also own one suit. My wife has about 20 dresses, hundreds of pants and shorts and somewhere about 40 pairs of shoes. I keep ALL my clothes in the coat closet and she utilizes our entire walk in.

Female previledge is getting to wear whatever color you want at black tie events while your man gets shamed for wearing anything other than a black tuxedo.

I don't understand this. If a girl wears a dress I think looks good, I would ENCOURAGE her to wear it again. I want to see more of it!

The thing about wearing dresses twice I think is some arbitration that is just assumed by people, and so they follow it.

Drfilthymcnasty · 2017-10-15T16:51:11+00:00

most negative comments towards women for doing anything come from other women. Men don't sit around talking about women's negative traits, and most of the time we do its honestly personality. maybe we make a remark about how a girl who used to be hot got fat, but women will ake that same snide remark to every other woman and do it constantly. I've seen this happening, some of my good friends were a bunch of girls all living together. Whenever one was out of the room they would all gang up on her. And when drunk they were constantly making passive aggressive comments about how unattractive, fat, etc the other ones were. Blew my mind.

Men would be happy if a woman was comfortable in what she wore, regardless, since that is what men want for themselves too. It is women who have the double standard about dress, not men.

The irony is that no men I know will notice/care what women wear. They can wear jeans and a shirt and it’ll be the same as a $3000, 1-party outfit.

And yet we cop the blame for reckless spending and what many women likely call the right to choose...

If people wouldn't constantly paint men as responsible for every evil in the world I would say the following:

It doesn't matter that it's women giving the negative comments, just as it doesn't matter that it's men raping other men in prison (and no I'm not trying to say that this issue is on the same level of importance as prison rape). Gendered issues should be tackled no matter what the gender of the victim, not matter the gender of the perp. Women pressure eachother when it comes to clothing. Men pressure eachother when it comes showing/not showing emotion. Just because the people "at fault" are of the same gender doesn't mean that it's less of a problem.

But people on the internet keep painting men as responsible for any shitty thing that happens in the world, so I totally get why he tweeted that.

I think you guys are a bit caught in a bubble here if you think this doesn't happen.

We saw this during the 2016 election too, women are more often judged by what they wear and it hurts them more often.

Also, I think this again points to this sub being anti-feminism or rather anti-people-saying-sexism-happens because I definitely can't see how this infringes on men's rights or how it relates to them either. Like, do you guys realize that feminism is not against men's rights and you don't have to fight them and it doesn't hurt men to support equal treatment? If you're really for men's rights, why does it seem you're more concerned with being against feminism? The two are not the same.

This issue isn't really male or female centric but it does tend to influence women more. It has nothing to do with 'male advantage' though.

The fashion/beauty industries are somewhat relentless and have a ton of ways that they influence people to buy stuff.

Here's a commercial that they air lately selling crest whitestrips:

https://youtu.be/AP3sCUbChlI

Having glowing white teeth is purely aesthetic. This product doesn't do anything for your actual dental health, it's purely cosmetic. In the commercial, they promote the idea that if your teeth aren't white enough next to a Kleenex, then you suck basically. Personally, the girl seems to have mental health issues and her friend is an enabler.

Men are actually sort of lucky that we aren't targeted quite as much as women to adhere to these bullshit marketing tricks but that doesn't mean that we aren't victims of the same type of ad shenanigans.

Men & women are targeted differently. There is a lot of overlap for common products but women are hit with this stuff from more angles. There is a lot more media that is geared towards women and it's all trying to sell something.

This stuff has been going on for decades too. It's generational and a lot of people learn these kinds of behaviors early on when they're kids. One of the earliest constructs kids learn is the concept of 'cool'. Advertisers market 'cool' stuff to impressionable kids and they get hooked on the idea that to be 'cool', they have to fit a certain image or ideal that usually depends on spending money.

People put more effort into trying to impress strangers than just trying to please themselves as a result.

It bugs me that this is in /r/mensrights and used as a way to cause more hostility between men & women because this is an issue that affects everyone regardless of gender.

Companies and people selling stuff causes these attitudes. 'Men' really have nothing to do with it unless they work in the ad/marketing industries but there's plenty of women working the fields too.

It's better to blame aggressive capitalists for these self esteem crushing attitudes since they're the ones who force it on everyone else.

The title of your post does not say anything about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.

So please don't do it. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

In future, such posts may be removed.

I feel like most people in this thread are missing that this is a completely accurate example of privilege in western (at least American) culture. Dresses aren't very high stakes, but it's proof that sexism originates from and is perpetuated by women just as much as it is from men.

I’m okay with wearing the same jeans and sweatshirt two days in a row. I don’t expect any more from my wife.

Good luck asking some women to not buy so many.

Spychotofu · 2017-10-15T17:59:51+00:00

The worst thing women do to each other is slut shaming. Felt so bad for my friend who hesitated having sex with two different dudes in a short time frame because of the back lash she'd get. That's so messed up. Thankfully she followed her desires and doesn't regret it. Our society is a little fucky.

I'm pretty sure she could wear this to every red carpet event and no dude, straight dude, would complain.

PreciousRoy666 · 2017-10-15T19:33:37+00:00

I had a lead at my last job who wore the same thing every day for a week. At the end of the week she told us about it, literally nobody noticed, not the men or the women.

BadFriendEric · 2017-10-15T20:22:57+00:00

I take advantage of this privilege ✊🏽✊🏽

Pinworm45 · 2017-10-15T20:32:38+00:00

Privilege is being able to give a shit about this

I wish I had these fucking problems

Zaggie · 2017-10-15T20:46:05+00:00

Don't try to pin that on men. Women wear different outfits for each other. Guys don't care or probably even notice.

I have NEVER said to a woman: "Didn't you just wear that dress last week?"

steveryans2 · 2017-10-15T20:58:08+00:00

In fact, if you wear it often and like it, then it saves me from having to comment on "which one I like more" and "why". Fuck, I'll buy you 31 of the same dress so you can wear the same thing every day and I don't have to be a part of your fashion decisions.

rightthorpe · 2017-10-15T20:58:32+00:00

So true...I don't like make up but I realized they put it on to impress other women

sevenspaces · 2017-10-15T21:02:20+00:00

This is utter nonsense. Only women care about this. I've even heard it directly from the mouths of several women I know, they dress up not to impress guys, but to impress girls in a competitive sort of sense. The dress, the heels, the makeup, it's to one up the other girls.

Shit, I'd love to see my girl wear her favorite dresses more often, who cares what other people think :p

fischestix · 2017-10-15T21:11:19+00:00

I give no fucks abour your dress. Other catty women, maybe. Who told women we care, let alone notice this?

Killerdogd · 2017-10-15T21:29:15+00:00

I'm not sure about how this affects women but men have to dress differently a lot especially to formal events. e.g. Black tie

sauteslut · 2017-10-15T21:29:22+00:00

Off topic but why is their info censored? They post publicly. Is it against reddit tos to post it with their Twitter handle?

Quillbolt_h · 2017-10-15T21:29:36+00:00

To be fair, I think I know what she’s trying to say....

It’s just that she picked the worst possible analogy.

L3tum · 2017-10-15T21:31:47+00:00

A coworker my age (so I actually look at what she's wearing) wears the seemingly same things every day. I'm sure that she, just like me, has some things twice or thrice, or sometimes has another top I don't notice, but I do not care one bit about it. Does it look good, smell good and feel good? Then why shouldn't you wear it multiple times? Like wtf is this, I'm not going to have stuff in my dresser for 7 days, let alone buy all this shit. Having 4 shirts was already a stretch for me to find any good ones and one of them already seems kinda weird again

zepled112 · 2017-10-15T21:50:36+00:00

I'm glad someone finally said this, bitches can be fucking cruel to other bitches.

climbingbuoys · 2017-10-15T22:00:25+00:00

So... male privilege is not caring what catty women think?

IAmMightyGalactus · 2017-10-15T22:12:43+00:00

I hate jeans, no mobility at all.

But if you're a girl you dont even have pockets so i guess i cant complain too much.

Neither this out of date (and no longer observed) piece of twentieth century culture nor the fictional feminist rebellion against it are real actual problems. Y'all just playing king of the molehill over here.

I know plenty of women who wear the same dress more than once

mr_droopy_butthole · 2017-10-15T23:10:03+00:00

Right?

Men say, "oh, I love it when she wears that dress"

I wouldn't even notice until the 5th or 6th time in a row.

KXNG_AC · 2017-10-16T00:49:42+00:00

The mere notion that men would even notice is hilarious to me. If my life depended on it I couldn’t tell you exactly what my girlfriend wore today, let alone yesterday.

NoahLasVegas · 2017-10-16T00:50:26+00:00

This is on them. I wouldn't notice or care if I did.

desiaurDesi · 2017-10-16T00:56:18+00:00

I guess I just didn't really get what your point is. By acknowledging that men deserve to be able to speak out about rape you were agreeing with me, right? It's like you're trying to make an argument out of thin air. Feminism literally became a thing because we weren't allowed by men to have basic rights like vote or have abortions. I mean, do you think it was just women behind this? I guess the way you people think is interesting to me, I don't actually think I'm going to change your mind about anything. Anything I say is going to make you mad. So fuck it right?

ColonelVirus · 2017-10-16T01:07:15+00:00

Don't think I've ever worn the same outfit two days in a row... At least not if I'm going out... I mean you can't wear same shirt to work the next day? Same T-shirt next day? Fuck is this woman talking about...

What about hygiene...

Oh I miss read... Multiple events... Yea she's chatting shit. Only self absorbed women want to wear multiple outfits to every event. Most will just put on an already owned dress with different accessories. I mean fuck.. if it's a special event, I'll go out and buy a new suit or shirt/trousers.

I wear the same thing everyday and my friends say I dress like shit. It's not a woman thing.

thelightwesticles · 2017-10-16T12:13:19+00:00

This is so sad and true. When I started dating my wife, she wore this one dress that was my absolute favorite. It was so fitting and incredibly sexy. I begged her to wear it again, and everyone she "had nothing to wear", I would make it as a suggestion.

No, it looks like a potato sack. Plus, I wore it to event x three months ago.

2017-10-16T12:25:22+00:00

Someone not giving a fuck is a privilege?

Does she think anyone is going to care if she showed up in the same yellow dress every day to work, that was clean and professional, that anyone would care?

tanenbaum · 2017-10-16T13:24:53+00:00

It's not like every women care either. The limitation comes from within. Neofeminism boils down to women blaming men for their insecurities.

desiaurDesi · 2017-10-16T14:28:37+00:00

Oh my god, you're delusional. These aren't feminist lies it's literal history. What the fuck happened to you? I knew y'all were delusional but this proves it. You basically think thy all history that pertains to women is "fake news"

Blutarg · 2017-10-16T16:56:45+00:00

LOL. Like men care about this? "Oh, I stopped going to Hooters because they wear the same thing every day!"

BetterBadIdeas · 2017-10-16T19:21:37+00:00

Doesn't matter it's still a "male privilege". That's why all the talk of "privilege" is so messed up. It seems to make sense ("you have advantages other don't) until you see something like this and it shows that you're being told to feel bad and therefore ascribe to a certain idealogy to atone, all for something you had no hand in but are somehow guilty of by default.

This tactic also goes by "original sin" when the Vatican invented it.

TigPlaze · 2017-10-16T19:53:20+00:00

I'd bet not a man here would blame her for wearing the same outfit twice.

Truth

DiscountCondom · 2017-10-15T20:39:47+00:00

I sort of get what she's saying. Even if this is something that is imposed by her own gender, it is not a problem that men have. Sort of like how men are judged more if they are more emotionally vulnerable. But this "cute dress" thing is way more one-sided.

I imagine it's also extremely inconsequential. Besides contributing a very small amount to your personal feelings of anxiety, what impact can this "problem" have on your life or the life of women in general? Is someone actually stressing out about this for real? This seems like a barely-serious shower thought that turned into a tweet.

coyoterabbit · 2017-10-15T21:11:37+00:00

Someone's got a lot of time on their hands to conjure up this level of nonsense. You'd have to think pretty highly of yourself to think that other people care that you wore a dress for the second time around. What a wasteful social condition as well, buy something once and never use it again.

Valendr0s · 2017-10-15T22:11:13+00:00

I wear basically the same thing to work. Not because of my privilege as a man, but as a married person who no longer needs to impress people.

letsgoboilersletsgo · 2017-10-15T22:55:27+00:00

Do men make up those so-called "rules" though? Bc i honestly don't care, and don't know many guys who do. Women seem to be the only ones who say anything.

I'm sorry, what war did you fight in again to earn voting rights? Also if you believe that fighting in a war is what earns the right to vote, don't you think there were women who wanted to fight too but weren't allowed because men wouldn't let them. You need to look up Dr. James Barry and do some more thinking.

desiaurDesi · 2017-10-16T16:54:32+00:00

Uh, women have definitely had their successes and discoveries hidden by history, there have been countless women who have had their achievements taken from them by men who take credit for their accomplishments. How can women be glorified when dudes like you whine and cry anytime they achieve anything. Again if you believe that other men need to be focused on from history that you believe have been silenced then talk. About. Them, in a normal way that isn't using the crutch of shooting down women to make a point.

StoyaGrey · 2017-10-15T16:43:38+00:00

It's a male privilege, but that doesn't mean that it is enforced by man.

I’ll probably get downvotes to hell for this, but in reality, it doesn’t matter where the criticism comes from for it be privilege. The fact that it exists for one sex and not for the other is the definition of privilege.

Dro-Darsha · 2017-10-15T19:36:52+00:00

Look at the comments section of any 2nd or 3rd season Fool Us video. Half of the comments is complaints that Alyson Hannigan is wearing the same dress in every episode. Nobody complains that Penn and Teller are wearing the same suit in every episode, too.

"Privilege" is also being ignorant about problems that actually exist for others ;-)

HugAllYourFriends · 2017-10-15T19:09:55+00:00

remember when the suffragettes won the vote by replying to random nobodys on twitter and posting it to reddit?

If any of you are reading this, wondering why more people don't support the men's rights movement, stuff like this is why. The fact that out of everything you could be putting on the front page, you're picking a dumb thing someone with no influence said and getting annoyed at it. It's like if /r/feminism picked a comment from somewhere like /r/incels saying there was a matriarchy because women control the sex supply. like yeah, no shit it's wrong, there are lots of people who say things that are wrong sometimes and if the best feminists could do was look at the dumbest things a few individuals on the other side said, people wouldn't take them seriously either.

dramalrama · 2017-10-15T20:26:59+00:00

Surely this is still a form of male privilege. Male privilege is the advantage men have in a sexist society (with society being made up of all genders). Even if in this case it is women enforcing the double standard, it remains an advantage men have due to an overall sexist society.
