Like they have the privilege of not being targeted and abused because of their sex, typically not hyper sexualized, are allowed to have hobbies and enjoy things without constant ridicule, they are the “default” in most things including medicine and human research.

Yep! But on the negative side they have issues with being allowed to show/ expressing emotions, working with kids/ being treated poorly for being a parent watching their own kids.

It’s extremely hard to notice the difference when it’s your base treatment so I feel like most men don’t know the extent of the differences and like I could focus on the medical field alone is enough to show intense privilege and same with white people.

Yes the emotions and close relationships and friendships is a HUGE one because I could not imagine not being able to hug and cuddle my friends.

This!!! The only guys I’m friends with are secure enough in their relationship and masculinity to give each other hugs and openly talk about how much they care about their friends. I know they are the outliers but it’s still good to see. Also men are basically taught that their primary goal in life is to get a girlfriend or partner and that makes them often see women as prizes which hurts their chances and ability to make friends with women.

Also especially in older generations I would say a significant labor burden is placed on them (the same can be said of women but in different ways) I saw what the stress of feeling responsible for the family did to my dad

Also the treatment of male SA victims is abhorrent (not that it’s much better for women)

I do think it depends on societal expectations and ethnicity/ race of the group in question. I think certain minority groups haven’t always had the option of having the expected one parent at home one not. But you are absolutely correct, men have faced a lot of that burden, especially due to the fact women really weren’t wanted to be working

Oh absolutely! The amount of comments I’ve seen from men and women on a male victims posts? Abhorrent

Yeah. Tho Even in two provider households I think usually it was put on the man to lead (which is toxic and harmful to both sexes) but has the unique aspect of putting a lot of pressure on good men who truly cared about their families.

Oh yeah for real. And not having any shelters for abusive relationships. I get that they are less likely to be abused or killed by their partner but having shelters ESPECIALLY for human trafficking is so insanely important even if it’s less common (but human trafficking is pretty even between men and women because labor trafficking)

Absolutely agree! All of my family has worked. Both my grandmas, one of them was even the main provider due to my grandpas medical issues. She told me that she was the only woman she knew being the breadwinner while taking care of her kids and sick husband. And I think that says a whole lot, given my dad was born in the late sixties.

Fair but isn’t privilege based in relation to the average treatment of others as well?

It is, but people on that comment section which i thought i mentioned this in the first comment but im the OP of are framing it as if there is "female privilege" when really where women benefit it's less so privilege and more of a result of the role they were deemed by the patriarchy
