Reflection 5, “Men and Feminism.”

Masculine privilege has been around throughout generations to the point men normalize everything they do and they don’t realize the privilege they have. For example, men don’t have to hold on their car key so tight at night just in case somebody pops out on them and they gotta run, men don’t get called a “slut” or a “whore” based on how they appear and what they wear. Men have so much privilege. One of the problems in masculine privilege would be the rape or sexual assault that occurs. Although men get raped too, 90% of the time it is women and mostly 16 year olds. However, it’s saddening how in today’s society, individuals tend to focus more on what the woman was wearing than what the man was doing. They try to victimize men and that is one of their privileges as well. It also states, “More people falsely report their own death than file a false report alleging sexual assault.” The problem in sexual assault is that women are always seen as the “liars” or trying to hurt men but what about the men who actually raped them and who are out there still living their life while somebody’s in pain? Power and privilege play a big role in this. Not only that, sexism is one of the many problems in masculine privilege. For example, they used two different methods on how men treat women when they are around them and when they are around their boys which helps you observe their behavior and why they might do it. Men tend to say erotic things to women in order to attract them but when they are with their boys, “give a woman another drink to change her mind!” In this case, this shows how some men take advantage of women just to look “masculine” and because they can. I learned a lot in this reading but what surprised me a lot was how some men wanted to take their wife’s last name but they had to do all of these documents and ended up taking it to court. When they ended up taking their wife’s last name, they are called “sissy” because the norm only shows how women take their husband’s last time, therefore, it wouldn’t be “masculine” enough for a man to take his wife’s. Not all men are sexist or a rapist but the point is privilege plays a big role in masculinity and we just need to transform that power, to something that actually impacts people’s lives and hears out everybody instead of being greedy and taking advantage of every little thing that comes their way.
