There is no such thing as privilege and even if there was it would be impossible to judge which person experienced privilege in their lives and which person didn't. Unless you walked in their skin or judged them by they skin.
I fight this battle every day. Believe me. People on both sides hate me. Men call me a feminist, some women call me sexist. I understand very well the dynamics at play. But I coach men to be real men who do not prey on women.

This is not something that is done from a position of weakness. We have to teach men to deal with their masculinity and understand it and to understand their role to protect those weaker than themselves.

No no no. You still don't get it. It is not men's roles to "protect" us, but to treat us as equals. Needing men as allies means listening and learning from women's experiences, then educating & enlightening men and boys to treat us with respect. Not to be owned or controlled.

Tell me more about how to be a “real man”, according to you, and how to “get the women I want.” That’s your pitch.
