    The bar is on the floor for men, and unreasonably high for women.
    Women put some of those restrictions on each other, but largely as a byproduct of the society they were raised in.

    It’s a privilege in the same way that having a shoulder to cry on is a female privilege.

    If you’re going to try to argue that society doesn’t push people into certain roles or to think in certain ways, or that men aren’t also involved in creating the parts of society that determine roles for women, then I don’t think we can have a meaningful exchange.

      I don’t consider that female privilege. I think we just have different definitions for what privilege is or more likely where we draw the line. To me, privilege is something more concrete and impactful, like men being trusted more in leadership roles or women being more trusted around kids.
