A site containing examples of "male privileges"(?)

serpentineeyelash · 2019-12-04T11:27:05+00:00

There are a bunch of these male privilege lists that go around. Often most of the items are not very impressive, or they have a corresponding male disadvantage. Anyway, let's take a look at this list.

We constantly hear about "angry white men", "whiny manbabies", "fragile male egos", "male entitlement", "men repressing their emotions", and so on. Men's bad moods are constantly blamed on gender.
It's generally acknowledged that women spend more money than men, so I'm not sure what this is referring to.
I'm pretty sure I've heard careless driving blamed on male risk-taking. Also, a man is more likely expected to be the driver in the first place.
It is often assumed that men are hired due to male privilege.
These days with affirmative action programs, a man not getting promoted might be because of his gender.
The earnings gap is mostly an issue of men being expected to take on more of the burden of breadwinning.
There is greater pressure on men to succeed and not fail in their career.
I guess this one is true.
Most men receive far less sexual attention whether wanted or unwanted. That's not really a privilege overall.
The risk for women walking alone at night is actually pretty low. Men are more likely to be victims of street violence.
It might be less likely, but female-on-male rape is a thing. A female date could also engage in various other forms of violence and aggression - including false rape accusations.
A woman's dress is not allowed as a defence for rape.
Wrong. Intimate partner violence is roughly equal between genders, and some studies say women are more likely to start the violence. A man is more likely to have to continue living in an abusive household for his children, because custody tends to go to the mother.
Actually, any man who is having sex cannot decide not to have children.
If a man chooses to have children, he will be expected to take on more intensive breadwinning responsibilities.
Men are called selfish if they don't work hard in their career.
Wrong. A man who decides to have children is signing up to work longer hours in his career.
That's probably because nobody particularly wants to sleep with you.
Male political candidates are constantly attacked as non-progressive based on their gender.
Male politicians' relationships with women are scrutinized by the press.
Male political representatives rarely do anything that favors other men.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
This is pretty much a repeat of point 21, and my rebuttal is the same.
Debateable. Hero roles train boys to put society ahead of themselves.
Maybe in some situations, but at work men are often expected to wear some sort of suit or uniform.
Women often aren't even clear on what they find attractive in men.
It's hard to say how much men's social and career potential is affected by looks, but some studies have suggested it may affect men worse than women.
It's usually a man earning the money to fund women's grooming, which for some women goes well beyond the minimum required to attract men.
Wrong. Promiscuous men are viewed as far more predatory than promiscuous women. And besides, I'd like to know how to get in on all this promiscuous sex I supposedly have the privilege of having.
I doubt it, since I know nothing about cars.
Men's gender is also reflected in all feminism's demonizing buzzwords.
See point 21.
Religion subjugates everyone to its dogmas. Also, there are many ways in which religion represses male sexuality just like female sexuality - anti-porn activism for example.
I'm not convinced. The studies I've found on it were not very convincing - they basically made subjective judgements about the meanings of interjections.

"TOXIC MASCULINITY"!!!!
Yes they fucking will. Have you seen commercials with men in them?
No. They'll blame it on you personally being an idiot.
Female privilege is getting hired due to your gender.
How the fuck is that an advantage?
The wage gap has been thoroughly debunked.
No. It's just your fault. Men don't have the mercy of having an excuse when they fail.
It would be if men needed or regularly got paternity leave.
You can too!
Men are the vast majority of victims of violent crime.
No we can't. We just choose not to.
This is partially because women have a much wider choice of socially acceptable clothing.
Apparently the author thinks male victims of domestic violence either don't exist or have tons of support.
No we can't.
Because men are seen as incompetent when it comes to childcare.
And if we choose to stay at home we get the inverse.
See 8.
Men's sexuality isn't valued.
We can't use our gender as part of our platform.
I've seen numerous people upset at this.
How is this in any way an advantage?
See, The entire MRM.
Again. Not an advantage.
This is what happens when you specifically look for things for your gender. Nobody gives a shit if you watch he-man.
We also get essentially a single option for business wear while you get numerous.
Men aren't the ones criticizing you.
Bullshit.
You don't make less money. And if your friends expect that. Get new friends.
There are negative stereotypes for promiscuous men.
Because we know if we don't read up we WILL BE
Read into the etymology of these terms and you'll be surprised that this isn't the case.
Not an advantage?
Religion is a choice.
Bullshit.

If you count stuff like this I can add another 35 things that are bad for men, but with a bit of twisting is actually good for them. Seriously, almost all of these points they try to make are so bad.

You can seek political office without fear of your relationship with your children, or whom you hire to take care of them, being scrutinized by the press.

As a man you have the privilege to not care for your children, because if you do have a healthy emotional relationship people will accuse you of being an incestuous pedophile.

To put it in the language of the writer: they are so full of the idea of their privilege, they would not recognize how they are disadvantaged, even if they were in jail for life.

" 22. Your political officials fight for issues that pertain to your gender, or at least don’t dismiss your issues as “special interest.” "

Excuse me, but what exactly is he referring to?

Can someone look this up or something?
