Male Privilege is when Men aren't afraid they won't get a job, or a rise in pay or promotion bc they're men. Male Privilege is walking down the street w/o being catcalled, harassed, groped or assaulted. Male Privilege is not being afraid that if you reject a woman, she will /1
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.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You don't get to tell me what my role is. Men should not just protect women, but anyone who is weaker. Respect is earned.
