dismantlethefeminism

I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.

What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????

Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them.

Come on, I fucking dare you.

Name them!

genderfag-remade-deactivated201

Oh boy. Well, as a man, I’ll tell you my male privilege.

My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed.

I can be confident in the fact that my co-workers won’t think that I was hired/promoted because of my sex - despite the fact that it’s probably true.

If I ever am promoted when a woman of my peers is better suited for the job, it is because of my sex.

If i ever fail at my job or career, it won’t be seen as a blacklist against my sex’s capabilities.

I am far less likely to face sexual harassment than my female peers.

If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job.

If I am a teen or an adult, and I stay out of prison, my odds of getting raped are relatively low.

On average, I’m taught that walking alone after dark by myself is less than dangerous than it is for my female peers.

If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be questioned.

If I do have children but I do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be questioned.

If I have children and I do care for them, I’ll be praised even if my care is only marginally competent.

If I have children and a career, no one will think I’m selfish for not staying at home.

If I seek political office, my relationship with my children or who I deem to take care of them will more often not be scrutinized by the press.

My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious the position, the more this is true.

When i seek out “the person in charge", it is likely that they will be someone of my own sex. The higher the position, the more often this is true.

As a child, chances are I am encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters.

As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of children’s media featuring positive, active, non-stereotyped heroes of my own sex. I never had to look for it; male protagonists were (and are) the default.

As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often.

If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether or not it has sexist overtones. (Nobody’s going to ask if I’m upset because I’m menstruating.)

I can turn on the television or glance at the front page of the newspaper and see people of my own sex widely represented.

If I’m careless with my financial affairs it won’t be attributed to my sex.

If I’m careless with my driving it won’t be attributed to my sex.

I can speak in public to a large group without putting my sex on trial.

Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is little to no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.”

I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability.

My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than women’s clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a woman’s without tailoring.

The grooming regimen expected of me is relatively cheap and consumes little time.

If I buy a new car, chances are I’ll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car. The same goes for other expensive merchandise.

If I’m not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.

I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.

I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that kind of violence is called “crime” and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called “domestic violence” or “acquaintance rape,” and is seen as a special interest issue.)

I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. “All men are created equal,” mailman, chairman, freshman, he.

My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is.

I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or questioned if I don’t change my name.

The decision to hire me will not be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.

Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is pictured as male.

Most major religions argue that I should be the head of my household, while my wife and children should be subservient to me.

If I have a wife or live-in girlfriend, chances are we’ll divide up household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks.

If I have children with my girlfriend or wife, I can expect her to do most of the basic childcare such as changing diapers and feeding.

If I have children with my wife or girlfriend, and it turns out that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids, chances are we’ll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.

Assuming I am heterosexual, magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are rarer.

In general, I am under much less pressure to be thin than my female counterparts are. If I am over-weight, I probably suffer fewer social and economic consequences for being fat than over-weight women do.

If I am heterosexual, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover.

Complete strangers generally do not walk up to me on the street and tell me to “smile.”

Sexual harassment on the street virtually never happens to me. I do not need to plot my movements through public space in order to avoid being sexually harassed, or to mitigate sexual harassment.

On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.

On average, I will have the privilege of not knowing about my male privilege.

And lastly, I am taken as a more credible feminist than my female peers, despite the fact that the feminist movement is not liberating to my sex.

This is male privilege.

THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU BE A MALE FEMINIST.

broadwayandtvshowsallthetime

YES YES YES YES YES

hawkeyedflame

[citation needed] using the world probably when making statements about your privilege is not a good way to start.

[citation needed] also affirmative action works against women and minorities because it implies that they are incapable of success without being given a leg-up, so that backfired on you, now didn’t it?

[citation needed] also how often do you really think a man gets promoted over a more-qualified and better-suited woman? like really think about that for a second.

[citation needed] also women sucking at their jobs doesn’t reflect on all women, just that particular person. as with everyone.

[citation needed]

[citation needed] in fact citation is so desperately needed here because that’s a straight up fucking lie and it completely fails to account for the fact that male rape is only legally viable when the man was being penetrated, and not when he was forced to penetrate.

[citation needed] once again a straight up lie. men are significantly more likely to be victims of violent crime at the hands of a stranger.

[citation needed] literally nobody questions a woman’s femininity if she doesn’t want children. that’s a fucking stupid thought and if you think it warrants feminism then you’re stupid too. although to be fair so far you haven’t given me any reason to believe you aren’t stupid.

[citation needed] see #9. you’ve also forgotten that women take advantage of the child support system and are not required to prove via DNA testing that the man they want child support from is actually the father. men cannot fight this in court and win. in fact, in france it’s against the law to do so. so much privilege, amirite?

[citation needed] good luck being the primary caregiver to your child as a man anyways since men gain full custody less than 50% of the time, even when they fight for it and even when the mother is provably incompetent

speaking in evolutionary terms, men are not absolutely necessary in the care of a young child in the way that a woman is. if you actually studied mammalian sexual/reproductive behaviors, you would know that monogamous fathers care for the mother, while the mother cares for the child, except in uncommon circumstances. so even when you’re right that people won’t think you’re selfish, you’re wrong because it’s irrelevant and not indicative of male privilege

[citation needed] i can’t even think of a single case where the pubic has questioned a female politician’s relationship with her children

has it ever occurred in your tiny little pea brain that men and women at a fundamental level have different interests? have you ever cast a critical eye upon the differences between career choices of men and women? i doubt it, because if you had you’d have noticed that women on average strongly prefer careers where they nurture, teach, or otherwise provide mother-like services to others, while men strongly trend towards jobs that mimic the role of fatherhood, such as protective or dangerous jobs. men also account for almost all workplace deaths.

see #14. if you ask me it’s only fucking fair that the same sex who constitutes 90+% of workplace fatalities should also hold higher positions. you also fail to acknowledge that a great deal of women choose to forsake their career in favor of raising children, and still other women enjoy not working a career at all simply because their husband works his ass off to provide for her.

[citation needed] what kind of bullshit is that anyways? how is that relevant at all?

[citation needed] i can think of plenty of cartoons and books with female heroes. just because you didnt watch them doesn’t mean they didn’t exist

[citation needed]

of fucking course nobody is going to ask if you’re on your period. you’re a guy. what kind of argument is that? menstruation does cause mood problems; in fact there is a mental illness classified by extreme depressive episodes before and during menstruation. i fail to see how this is someone tantamount to male privilege. it’s just biology, which is not sexist.

[citation needed]

[citation needed] also men make up the ridiculously vast majority of people suffering from gambling addictions, so.

[citation needed] holy shit this is so fucking wrong like oh my god. insurance rates are higher for men by default because they are considered a riskier investment. do you even know how to use google?

what the fuck does that even mean

once again, biological fact of life. species with female gestation afford two options for the males of said species: spread your sperm far and wide and hope that if you plant many seeds, some will survive, OR stay with one female and put your energy into ensuring that your single well-attended-to offspring will survive. this is like, evolution 101. do you really think humans are above millions of years of evolutionary instincts and behaviors? come on dude.

[citation needed] i absolutely know women who judge men’s sexual availability based on their clothing, and honestly there is nothing wrong with being a sexual creature. we are animals and we like sex and we like expressing to others whether or not we want to have sex and there is nothing fucking wrong with that jesus

[citation needed] and what the fuck does that have to do with feminism? why do we need a movement so that people can complain about the quality of their clothing? if women dont feel satisfied with their clothes they can go ahead and do what so many men already do and fix the problem themselves by starting clothing companies

[citation needed] have you fucking seen the cost of men’s razors? have you seen it? and if youre talking about makeup, thats not a reason for feminism. there is no divine law obligating women to wear makeup. it is a choice, through and through. women who feel like they “have to” wear makeup are making excuses for their own insecurities.

[citation needed] also men are known to be more forceful negotiators so that once again has absolutely nothing to do with privilege

[citation needed] men are underrepresented in eating disorder and other mental health statistics not because they don’t have these problems, but because women expect men to be stoic and unfeeling and to not have insecurities. how’s that privilege working out for you?

no shit. “bitch” is gendered insult. you should be afraid of being considered a prick, because odds are, you fucking are.

[citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed] [citation needed]

holy shiiiiiiit who actually gives a fuck about that? seriously, who?

menstruation again? dude come on. see #19

i hardly consider keeping your name to be a privilege. it certainly isnt female oppression. nobody has to take their spouse’s name. a lot of women just want to.

[citation needed] and that’s a moot point as well because women tend to abandon their careers to take care of their children. i wouldn’t hire someone who i knew was going to be temporary.

what does this have to do with privilege?

see #12 and #24

if you do that you’re just a dickbag, not privileged

see #37 and also #38

see #39

[citation needed]

[CITATION NEEDED] THIS IS A LIE. MEN CONSTITUTE OVER 70% OF NON-RECIPROCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS.

what the fuck does that have to do with privilege

are you implying that women are more likely to be sexually assaulted? because [citation needed] and also you’re wrong but i already went over this in #7

wow you got one thing correct out of 47. good job.

what privilege are we talking about?

Now that we’ve got that annoying list out of the way, let’s talk about female privilege

Women receive lighter sentences and a higher chance of acquittal, simply for being women 1

94% of sexually abused youth in correctional facilities reported being abused by female staff. Only 40% of the staff is female.

Inmates reporting staff sexual misconduct, ~ 65% reported a female aggressor

Study of US college women - 12% of the respondents reported ever using any type of force strategy while 43% reported using a coercion strategy and 92% reported using a seduction strategy to initiate sex.

Mothers kill children at twice the rate of fathers.

For Every 100 girls..

Women actually control 80% of household spending, and 51.3% of private wealth.

Women receive custody in over 90% of divorce proceedings

Women initiating divorce between 66% and 90% of the time.

Women make up the majority of college graduates

School system favors girls starting from Kindergarten

Female felons should serve home sentences.

Told judges to be lenient on women.

Had enough? Fine, let’s talk about female crime. [same source as “female privilege” hyperlink]

Women are perpetrators often as men.

286 sources on assaults on partners by women

Women are more violent

Domestic violence being equally committed by women, only males get arrested

Men are over 40% of domestic abuse victims

Male DV victims are discriminated against

Gay and bisexual men experience abuse in intimate partner relationships at a rate of 2 in 5, which is comparable to the amount of domestic violence experienced by heterosexual women.

About 17-45% of lesbians report having been the victim of a least one act of physical violence perpetrated by a lesbian partner (1,5,6,13).

Men or DV is Not the leading cause of death among women under 50

More DV facts

Oh! Can’t forget about the selective services!

Women don’t have to do it. Why? Because. As a man, if you don’t sign up before the age of 26 you can be fined $250,000, be denied a trial, and get up to five years in prison. You are denied student loans. You are denied Federal Job Training. You are technically not a citizen. Some states give worse punishments for not signing up. It makes it harder to get a driver’s license, financial aid, and to pursue employment. They even require illegal immigrants to sign up. And they say nothing of providing them with a citizenship, as far as I can see. It is widely believed that “only sons” are not required to sign up for selective service and the draft. This is false. They can, and will draft only sons who “carry on the family name”. They can draft single fathers.

Sorry, what was that about male privilege?

Oh yeah, you made a wishy-washy redundant list of 47 hella fucking reaches without offering any evidence to substantiate your claims.

I hope you have some time on your hands because you have a lot of reading ahead of you. Make sure to set an extra few minutes aside to cope with the shame of being so ignorant.
