Alright letâs go over this fucking bullshit piece by fucking piece. The original mouth breather deactivated so Iâm just gonna tag @fanndas-snow-goddess and @kurokoi since they decided it was all right
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.
Actually, no you arenât. Males are not only the highest in unemployment but also the highest of the homeless population. Being male does not increase your odds.
I can be confident in the fact that my co-workers wonât think that I was hired/promoted because of my sex - despite the fact that itâs probably true.
This is basically a retread of what you just said and my previous points still stand. But the promoted part is new so lets see.
At my current job I was hired at the same time as 5 other females and they ALL have received promotions and I havenât. Of my 6 managers the one woman is second in command. and some of most powerful people in the store are mostly women including 3 of the 4 CSRs and 3 of the 5 department heads. Also of our 10 supervisors 7 of them are female and the supervisor who is over the rest of them is a female as well. So being a man AGAIN does not garuntee a promotion or a position of power.
If I ever am promoted when a woman of my peers is better suited for the job, it is because of my sex.
No. It isnât. You obviously have no idea how promotions and management works so as a former assistant manager let me tell you.
When faced with the choice of multiple applicants for a job or promotion opportunity there are several procedures we go through
1) we ask every applicant if they desire the position.Â
2) of the applicants who said yes we take a look at their work ethics and accomplishments:Â
How much have they done (how much money or work have they accomplished. As a janitor we looked at how much they can get cleaned and how fast for example, my friend had to look at how much money his employees brought in being a bank manager ect.)
How are they with customers. (did they receive compliments or complaints. how valid were they. were they ever requested ect ect.)
How do they work with others (are they a team player. Do their coworkers tend to complain about them)
And finally their attendance (how often did they call into work, be late, ect.)
ALL of these factors will have played a part and notice how not a DAMN one of them says âare they male or female.â This isnât just me by the way, this is how my mum and dad, and my friends who were in positions of power worked. this is pretty universal.
If i ever fail at my job or career, it wonât be seen as a blacklist against my sexâs capabilities.
Uh, youâve never heard the phrase âmen canât sewâ or âmen canât be secretariesâ Iâve even heard âmen wont make good nursesâ you MOST CERTAINLY can be judged as a man.
I am far less likely to face sexual harassment than my female peers.
NO NIGGA! it just isnât as HEARD of for men to be sexually harassed because âmen donât care all they want is sexâ and if we reject it we are called gay. I had a woman who was 18 when I was 16 at McDonalds make passes ast me all the time and I asked her to stop and when I reported it my manager told me âYouâre 16 youâll understand when youâre older it isnât that badâ And this happens ALL THE TIMEâ
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.
No chances are they will think who did the better job will have done the better job. Let me just list a few of the tasks I as a man have been told I canât do well because I own a penis:
provide nurturing care of anyone for that matter
And this is just what Iâve heard Iâm sure there are more
If I am a teen or an adult, and I stay out of prison, my odds of getting raped are relatively low.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime doesnât have any estimates for victims of commercial sexual exploitation, only for human trafficking, which is closely related. It estimates that two-thirds of the victims of human traffickers are women, 13 per cent are girls, nine per cent are boys and the remainder are men.
But recent research here as well as in Ethiopia, Brazil, Peru, India and other sex-tourism hot spots indicates that boys are as likely as girls to be victimized by travelling sexual predators. Some research even suggests that boys are more likely to be exploited.
Elliott and many others working for non-governmental organizations here are particularly concerned about the explosion of the commercial sex trade in Sihanoukville that seems to involve many more boys than girls.
Sihanoukville is Cambodiaâs premier beach resort and is rapidly being re-developed to attract tourists with new guest houses aimed at budget travellers and spectacular, luxury hotels on outlying islands. Itâs happening just as Thailand is curbing its sex tourism industry.
Given that, a Western diplomatic source said, itâs no surprise there is a concerted lobby to have direct air connections to Sihanoukville not only from Phnom Penh and Cambodiaâs other major tourist attraction â the Angkor temples in Siem Reap â but also from Russia.
Boys account for 55 to 60 per cent of the victims rescued by the French-based Action Pour Les Enfants, according to its director Seila Samleang. APLE investigates and helps prosecute child sex offenders.
Once the boys are rescued, Samleang says there are fewer shelters and fewer services. But he says, âGenerally boys choose not to go to receive counselling or whatever.
âWe offer to send them to after-care programs, but they refuse. They think that what they were doing isnât harmful. They think itâs the quickest way to get money.â [X]
40% of rapists are women. part two
And the stats of male rape victims would probably be higher if the definition of rape included being forced to penetrate instead of just forced penetration.
So no, you arenât that much less likely to be raped it just doesnât count when you are forced to penetrate because reasons.
On average, Iâm taught that walking alone after dark by myself is less than dangerous than it is for my female peers.
Historically, males have higher rates of violent victimization compared to females. For example, in 1993 the rate of violent victimization for males reported through the NCVS was 96.9 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, while the rate reported by females was 63.7 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older. In 2012, the rates of violent victimization were 29.1 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older for males and 23.3 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older for females.4 Â
2012 is a bit old but I couldnât find anything more recent. So no, men are more likely to be victims of a violent crime. I think the main problem here is people assume the only thing that happens after dark is rape but they neglect muggings and murder.
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, Iâll be praised even if my care is only marginally competent.
If I have children and a career, no one will think Iâm selfish for not staying at home.
Ima start answering these by categories because they repeat themselves constantly. and this post is getting too long already.
I donât want kids. Iâve expressed this many times to many people and I get generally the same reaction âBUT YOUR PURPOSE AS A MAN IS TO BE A FATHERâ or âGOD MADE YOU MAN SO YOU CAN PRODUCE FORâ I even once got told I am not a real man because a real man would want kids. So there goes that bullshit. Here are some nice little phrases you might be familiar with:
a real man takes care of his kids
These are just a few phrases describing a man who doesnât provide primary care for their kids.
What is considered âmarginally competent? because men are often ridiculed for not being able to care for kids properly (see list of things I have been told I canât do well as a man) and I have only ever seen praise when a man does extremely well and treats their kids right.
Right. Thatâs why when a dad ignores his children in favor of his job hes called a workaholic loser and his marriage often fails. Â I donât know what alternate reality you live in but I wish I was there.
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.
Is this a thing? Are female politicians ridiculed for this? I follow the news a lot and have never seen this. not even in the tabloids.
My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious the position, the more this is true.
This is more a thing that less females run for political power than men and not an issue of male privilege. Not gonna elect someone who doesnât run
When i seek out âthe 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.
Didnât we discuss this in the begining of this whole ordeal? My awnsers remain the same
As a child, chances are I am encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters.
All kids are encouraged to be active and outgoing what the hell are you on about? Even if this was the case this isnât a privilege youâre just pulling shit out your ass at this point.
As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of childrenâs 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.
I could sit here and list every fucking female protagonist ever. but this post is way to long already. What I will do tomorrow is make a list so I can just link in the future. They arent hard to find though. Men arenât the default.
As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often.
WHAT IS THIS SHIT? âmy personal experiences is how the whole world worksâ maybe you were just a teacher favorite. This isnt a universal thing man. This is another thing that even if it is true isnât a thing about privilege and has nothing to do with that.
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. (Nobodyâs going to ask if Iâm upset because Iâm menstruating.)
no I just get told I need to get laid because obviously a man must be sexaully frustrated if hes irate.
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 Iâm careless with my financial affairs it wonât be attributed to my sex.
Depends on the person and what you brought. (midlife crisis Ferrari anyone?)
If Iâm careless with my driving it wonât be attributed to my sex.
No youâll just be made fun of because men are supposed to be good drivers
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 âslut,â nor is there any male counterpart to âslut-bashing.â
being a player is considered a negative quality which is indeed the equivalent and you will be called a man slut by man.
I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability.
low strung jeans and tight shirts typically portray a man who is looking for a mate
My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than womenâs clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a womanâs without tailoring.
No evidence of this. Women and menâs clothes cost the same its more when you go towards heavier people the costs go up.
The grooming regimen expected of me is relatively cheap and consumes little time.
*men who are really hairy laugh at your sheer ignorance*
If I buy a new car, chances are Iâll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car. The same goes for other expensive merchandise.
No you wonât. The price on the car is what everyone gets offered
If Iâm not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.
Right because ugly men are often widely accepted and not rejected by women all the damn time
I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.
If you are loud you get called obnoxious and if you are aggresive you get called an asshole.
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 âcrimeâ and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called âdomestic violenceâ or âacquaintance rape,â and is seen as a special interest issue.)
What the fuck? Domestic abuse and rape are seen as hideous when done against women. Also read this and shut up
I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. âAll men are created equal,â mailman, chairman, freshman, he.
This is a ridiculous complaint and has nothing to do with privilege. You really have no problems in life if this is something you legitimately care about
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 donât change my name.
Thatâs just how marriage works. And women can have two surnames and not be questioned. again who legitimately cares
The decision to hire me will not be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.
wonât be for women either
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.
THIS ISNâT PRIVILEGE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOLLOW MILLENNIA OLD BOOKS YOU TWIG! OH BRONZE AGED MEN WROTE WOMEN AS INFERIOR. NO SHIT
If I have a wife or live-in girlfriend, chances are weâll 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 weâll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.
These all sound like a problem with your way of thining and not male privlige
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.
Ok? This is entirely dependent on the product being sold and is not even close to virtually all media.
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.
I am gonna assume you arenât over weight because as an over weight guy I can assure you this is bullshit
If I am heterosexual, itâs incredibly unlikely that Iâll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover.
Go sit in the corner and think about your ignorance.
Complete strangers generally do not walk up to me on the street and tell me to âsmile.â
Ok. Happens to me all the time at work.
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.
Maybe you are just ugly? My brother gets sexual comments hurled at him all the time by thirsty ass women
On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.
what is this âon averageâ bullshit you keep throwing out. It seems like you keep assuming your experiences represent all men. Let me say it again YOUR EXPERIENCES DO NOT EQUATE TO THE WORLD WORKS
On average, I will have the privilege of not knowing about my male privilege.
No youâll just pull a whole bunch of shit out of your ass in order to seem like you do have privileged and 90% of it depends on your experiences being fact about how the world works
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.
No you look just as misinformed and blind as the female feminists who spout what you just did do.
Male âprivligeâ is lacking these five legal rights that women have
