I ran across this idea of 'male privilege' recently.
The idea of calling it a 'privilege' handed out to other males (which is a fallacy anyway)
Yes, the false premise is that everyone must be identical in every measurable respect and that if this is not so then a malevolent social structure is at fault. This is typical of Leftists, though the current generation have taken it to insane depths.
that they aren't rape targets seemed utterly false to me. Indeed to call it a 'privilege' seems by common standards to legitimise the sex preditor.
No, privilege is a dirty word in our society because it implies differences in value between persons. Since mass democracy runs on envy such things cannot be allowed, it will offend the malcontents who have anointed themselves spokepersons for "tha Peepul".
Got my reply to it deleted in responce, of course. Hopefully the admin on that other board helped rather than hindered female liberty in enacting such intellectual dishonesty.

yes pls
seemed to have women base every activity they do in life, first and foremost, around evading sexual assault. Eg, not having a ladies night because that might be fun, but a ladies night as a kind of wagon circle. Out of fear.
Is that liberty?
Of course not.
Yeah, as a secondary concern women might want to set up defences. But as a secondary concern, that's not making your life revolve around such things.
But when someone treats fear of sexual assault as the normalised first and foremost way a woman should think about her life - is that liberty?
No, but it is the inevitable result of expecting them to defend themselves when they are "liberated" from the patriarchal authority of a father, brother, or husband. Another way feminism victimizes women. At least the older generation understood that biology had to be compensated for in order to achieve equality, the current fools are convinced that biology is a hate crime and seek to suppress it, which only leaves women vulnerable before the inegalitarian reality of human nature, against which there are no longer any social and moral strictures other than threat of violent coercion by law. Shooting the messenger, turned up to 12.
And to call it male privilege - it smacks of 'just world' bias to call it privilege, as if some system is being enacted?
Again Callan, that is exactly what they think - everyone is the same until evil
Alien Powers made us different. They are obviously wrong, and insane, but don't look for them to change anytime soon, since this is their
masturbatory pseudo-religion. Or what, when I think calling it 'privilege' is legitimising the sad twisted wrecks that the predator is, am I mistaken? Sounds kind of legitimising to me?
You seem to be unwise to the current purely derogatory use of "privilege" in contemporary America. In other times and places your interpretation would be valid.
Anyway, it seems like it's a big word around town
Move. Seriously.
and I remember it from the ROH run ins a bit now
I read little of that shit but I am not surprised.
- so whut up with male 'privilege'?
It's a propaganda term designed to stigmatize differential conditions among persons as
prima facie evidence of moral trespass and social failure, regardless of any consideration for causality (never discussed, esp. when the actions of the allgeded victim might have meaningful bearing on the "injustice" in question) or for actual merit (everyone is assumed to be equally meritorious at all times, except of course for "bigots"). Thus the fact that I do not expect to be a rape target is "male privilege", the fact that I do not expect to be frisked by cops randomly is "white privilege", the fact that I expect to be able vote when Felipe the lawn care guy from the Yucatan cannot is also "white privilege", the fact that I can walk around in public without people misjudging my gender is "cis privilege", the fact that I can marry someone from the gender I find sexy is "straight privilege", etc. ad nauseum.
