As a white male you DO have white male privilege. Just because you don't recognize it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And how could you? It's all you've ever known?
Understand, this doesn't mean that no white male ever experiences a lack of privilege.
But you do have it. I don't know why this notion upsets you so much.

An independent tedtalk with a transgendered speaker is your support for a male/female experience.

Perhaps it's because it's used as a weapon

Sorry, can you offer a more specific criticism?
A man who then lived as a woman seems to me to be a good lens through which to view the differences in the way men and women are treated.
IF you disagree then feel free to explain why.

@Pikachu Do you accept your female privilege?

@Jackaloftheazuresand

What makes you think i'm female?

But yes, in some respects women are privileged. Mostly with regards to children. Which of course they are expected to make their priority, unlike men😉

lol alright then.

But you'd be foolish to assume that because women get preferential treatment in things like custody hearings that male privilege is not a big deal
