Is male privilege real?

[Anonymous]

When I go outside all I see is homeless men who lost all hope. I see a homeless woman once in a while. I understand some men are abusive and some can be very cruel but do men really have any kind of privilege besides not getting a period?

I'm lonely people laughed at me for being lonely. I was hurt more than enough times. I don't understand what I have that can be consider a privilege.

Just because there is a difference in privilege does not mean it necessitates that men can't do worse than women. Especially since this is not really related to what is suppressing women. You can be born rich beyond your wildest dreams with a silver spoon in your mouth and still end up homeless on the streets. The world does not guarantee success if you dont work for it.

That's why you get a trust fund so no one mismanage your wealth. And women will usually get a boyfriend that they can live off of.

There are definitely privileges to being a man. People take you more seriously in a professional capacity. You can go wherever you want, and basically do whatever you want. People aren't constantly talking trash on your physical appearance.

Men have some unique privileges. Women have some unique privileges. But neither is more privileged than the other. Feminists who claim men are more privileged than women are full of shit.

Man, woman, black, white, everyone has some level of privilege. Men don't have any more privilege than anyone else does.
