Yes, and that's the point with male privilege? It's an advantage without any other reason than the holder being male.
Raising women to hold the same privilege is the same as removing it for men, if everyone has it it's not a privilege.
I think this is why the equality in society moves forward too slowly, not necessarily because men don't want women to have equal rights and opportunities, but as you said the privileged are defensive because they don't want to lose their privileges.
Stop arguing semmantics and understand what they're saying! This is about communication, not being technically correct.
FFS, your post is exactly portraying the problem.
You even use a much better word: equality. Yet argue in favor of using a less effective word... Truly sad.
Semantics are important and I do understand what they are saying. Did you read my comment?
This for example. Male privilege is something men shouldn't have since it's based entirely on gender. So the privilege teeds to be abolished for equality to happen.
And as I said, of course men gets defensive when its problematized and put in the spotlight, you may support equality but who wants to lose their advantages? 🤷
Ironically enough your comment also focused on the semantics instead of the issue at hand.. :)
No, it's really not a privilege, especially for any non-rich, not cleaned up white man. It's what should be the minimum respect people are given for being conscious beings.
I'm not sure what you're talking about?
What is not a privilege and how does it relate to a minimum level of respect?
Basic respect and zero assumptions about intent are a solid start. Those ARE NOT privileges, but what any honest person engaging with someone or something should expect... Someone should be able to ask a basic question about a service you are providing with zero assumptions made as to what you expect as a result or a cost, as a basic example.
Seriously, how is this confusing??
This is ALWAYS about being technically correct
