Male Privilege?

[Bushtuckrman]

In what ways is it easier to be a man? What advantages do men get compared to women in life?

Strength
Aggression
Ability to admire, not envy others of the same sex
Decisiveness
Drive
And my favorite - going into auto pilot while doing mundane work


Strength is the biggest one, its what generally keeps you from being a victim by the actions of other people.

Women don't have aggression? Men don't have envy of other, more successful or attractive men? Women aren't decisive? Or as driven?

Seems like all of the reasons people in the first world declare men are better are just them projecting their insecurities onto the entire society.

Modern feminism and its terminology pretty much just comes from discredited paranoid marxist theories from the 1970s.

1970..... Glad I am not living in the same universe as yours.

I feel so bad for you. Did i mention the x4 higher suicide rate and less funding for cancer and lower life expectancy? You can keep the "being taken more seriously at work" thing if i can have all of the non-death-getting.

This high suicide rate is because of the male gender role having high pressure to succeed in life and compete with other men. It can suck being a man too. That is why sexism and gender roles are shit and should be fixed.

Male privilege isn't some kind of conspiracy, it's just the observation that we collectively as a society tend to prefer one gender over the other in varying degrees in different situations.

Quotes from: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/1...efit-whiteness

Fighting anti-Semitism means fighting the concept of “Jewish privilege.” But the way to do that is not by casting American Jews today as a severely marginalized caste.

Countering “Jewish privilege” with claims of Jewish under-privilege only invites—and rightly so—accusations of obliviousness and of not seeing the bigger picture of what’s happening in this country.

I am not trying to silence anyone through privilege-accusation, or, as Mandel puts it, offering “bumper-sticker slogans to be deployed as trump cards.” I just think that, strategically and morally, such obliviousness damages our cause.

What American Jews have to deal with these days, in terms of anti-Semitism, isn’t racial or religious marginalization, so much as a continued ideology fixated on the idea that Jews control everything.

Being taken more seriously in your job or professional opinions, tends to be a thing.

taking your job more serious as a man Is a thing.

You don't get told to go to the kitchen

No, i just get told to do all the 'Laboring' stuff - Like, Mow the lawn, build the terrace, tile the bathroom, change the tires, and more.
But golly, someone expecting you do make some food - The patriarchy!

and make a sandwich all the time or have guys making related jokes on TS 24/7 forever and ever and ever.

Oh the fragile flowers - We should keep them away from society to safeguard them against male expression.
- You do get that this is one of the most regressive ideas out there? It does not differ at all from its regard to womens sensibilities from a 100 years ago - Or right today in the Muslim world.

We age better, that's for sure.

The whole "male privilege" is nonsense.
Anyways, what advantages they have? Greater physical strenght and less emotional stuff to deal with, for one thing.

Men are just as emotional, it just showing emotions is not manly and stuff. Which is one of the reasons why men and mental health care are not the best buds.

/facepalm

Some of you guys take this all way too seriously.

there are people who get degrees in this shit - It is serious

I seriously question all this 'outrage against feminism' when you guys are able to recite the name of every single female feminist activist, while I never even heard of such people.

No i can recite the idiots who spew idiocy - That you defend them, That is the problem.

Besides, I'm not a feminist, nor did I ever study or look into social studies that examine what subtle or strong advantages men might have over men.

permit me to laugh.

It simply doesn't exist in the western world. It absolutely does in other parts of the world and across history but even then, I'd argue that the life of men was more open but more shitty rather than simply better.

I did not say women do not have any advantages over men. But they are often based on sex, looks or sexism. You can make the longest list in the world if you want, it doesn't matter.

- I'm not scared to walk home alone
- I'm stronger/faster, which is nice
- People don't send me dick pics
- I can write things in the snow with pee

All of these things arent male exclusive. As for the two first, it's a matter of mind, not a matter of gender. I teach the girls that i train to be strong of will and body, just as i do with my male students. The only real diffrence is that when they run/sprint/dance/jump/summon Satan with a shoelace and a bit of plastic, some girls find it hurtful due to bustsize, which is more a small/large bust issue than a male/female one.

I was kinda implying that men don't have to deal with periods, with the 'less emotional stuff to deal with'. Anyways, I do believe women are atleast slightly more emotional. Male and female hormones have kinda different effects ^^
