(5,763 posts). . . you'd likely be dead without male privilege.
Or, if you were only smart enough, you'd be able to use all that male privilege to advance your fortunes and become a real oppressor, like you really desire.

Seriously, if you look at some commercials or shows from the 50s & 60s on youtube, you will see blatant male privilege depicted in them. You will go, wow, this culture has changed. And it has.
There is still male privilege in this culture, but it's not evenly distributed by class, because money enforces it now. Today it's not even significant in the lower classes (that is to say, the lower and the middle class). So, I guess, theoretically, you could be privileged if you had enough money.
And definitely there are men in the lower classes who are nostalgic for the good ol' days of male privilege.
