(5,023 posts)I understand that "Male Privilege" might be the topic of forthcoming books, blogs, coffeehouse discussions. My wife went to a very liberal college and said she used to talk about feminist issues with her girlfriends all the time, but the "male privilege" topic she never heard of before, so I'm guessing that the terminology is sort of new in popular discussion.
Interesting how no exceptions can be made. I'm must be even more of a loser than I thought, because if all the women I know are ahead of me, AND I had an 'advantage'. The owner of the business I work for is female. Wow. What a loser I must be!
In my own family, women pretty much run things. I don't know what kind of families other people have. No women in mine are treated with any less respect. And vice versa. Yeah I've seen many other families treat women like they are the maids, cooks, etc., but that does not exists in my circle whatsoever.
So I am simply not associated with whatever biased bigoted culture from which this term is derived. I know weird trashy environments exist but I try to avoid them.
If there is any way I can help, though, I'm happy to.
