Oh boy

2019-04-10 15:30:48 UTC  

Sup guys. I'm Engine. I like to play devil's advocate

2019-04-10 15:31:16 UTC  

Center leftist that believes Male privilege is pretty realistic

2019-04-10 15:31:36 UTC  

For the most part.

2019-04-10 15:32:55 UTC  

Just to star off introductions: I am a liberal. How I define liberal basically means that I advocate for empowering people to make whatever choices they want to in life so long as it doesn't infringe on the right of others.

2019-04-10 15:33:35 UTC  

That would mean, almost all of us are liberal too.

2019-04-10 15:33:44 UTC  

Yeah probably

2019-04-10 15:33:57 UTC  

I'm personally a centrist libertarian

2019-04-10 15:34:23 UTC  

I don't really subscribe to libertarianism but I get it.

2019-04-10 15:34:40 UTC  

I think there are some issues that society and the free market can't solve.

2019-04-10 15:34:42 UTC  

I'm not full libertarian though

2019-04-10 15:35:17 UTC  

That's why I said centrist

2019-04-10 15:35:40 UTC  

European centrist? Or the American one?

2019-04-10 15:35:49 UTC  

Because American centrism is cancer

2019-04-10 15:37:08 UTC  

I don't know that,

2019-04-10 15:37:18 UTC  

Coming back to male privilege

2019-04-10 15:37:27 UTC  

Sure thing

2019-04-10 15:37:31 UTC  

Male privilege

2019-04-10 15:37:40 UTC  

I think it exists for the most part

2019-04-10 15:38:56 UTC  

You need to quantify privilege, and need to compare both male and female previlege in order for a good analysis of privilege.

2019-04-10 15:40:02 UTC  

It's kind of impossible "quantify" because there isnt one particular source that it comes from.

2019-04-10 15:40:14 UTC  

I can give you several reasons as why it exists

2019-04-10 15:40:32 UTC  

Same with female privilege, that too also exists in some ways

2019-04-10 15:40:37 UTC  

So have you compared both male and female privilege

2019-04-10 15:41:23 UTC  

Which are the main male privileges

2019-04-10 15:42:52 UTC  

So privilege is typically a result of how we're socialized. Gender roles inform our society of what we think of the genders. We think men are more independent than women and therefore more capable in some capacity. We think women are always victims to violence, therefore they always win divorce cases. Men had much longer to vote and work than women do so they're raised with different standards. Theres a ton of reasons that are limited to some patriarchal society forcing women down.

2019-04-10 15:43:27 UTC  

It's the same reason systematic racism exists

2019-04-10 15:43:42 UTC  

There isnt some racist smoke filled backroom

2019-04-10 15:43:59 UTC  

Its just the system had been set up against black people for a long time

2019-04-10 15:44:01 UTC  

Same with women

2019-04-10 15:44:09 UTC  

That's just how I see things.

2019-04-10 15:44:54 UTC  

Are you a troll...?

2019-04-10 15:45:14 UTC  

That was a mistype

2019-04-10 15:45:28 UTC  

K

2019-04-10 15:46:42 UTC  

So to answer your question, men are seen as more valuable than women by society, they overall make a higher income, theres a ton of socialization that puts them at an advantage over women.

2019-04-10 15:46:47 UTC  

We don't think, men are more independent than women fundamentally the difference is with hyperagency and hypoagency

2019-04-10 15:47:58 UTC  

Before you go on

2019-04-10 15:48:00 UTC  

How is men more valuable than women

2019-04-10 15:48:04 UTC  

Can you explain those terms?
