If he needs to ask why the privilege cake is on his plate at all, then he's either blind or a moron. A feminist didn't put it there. His fellow men did. The feminist is just acknowledging it exists.

Uh no, she specifically mentioned that she doesn't think men need to question themselves as hard on their life choices as women. Which is just giving men another privilege, sanctioned by her type of feminism.

Okay, so it's not so much that there's not an original cake on his plate given to him by the benefit of being male in our society, it's that she purposely went over and put a big dollop of whipped cream and a sparkler candle on it to boot when he never asked for it and there are women across the restaurant trying to flag her down for the check and getting quite angry that they're being ignored.

Should he just have sat there and eaten the whole thing despite his lactose intolerance to the system he'd be perpetuating by not questioning the unfairness of the circumstances? Even if it's to say something like 'oh, hey, I think those ladies would really appreciate a check'?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, no. Men ALREADY HAVE THE PRIVILEGE of not questioning their choices. They've done it for the last 5,000 years. Acknowledging they have this privilege and that women need to work harder because they've manipulated to follow that same system is just stating the obvious. To believe that we can shake thousands of years of being devalued as people in just a few decades, especially when we're STILL under that kind of social pressure even though we have "more choices"? Hey, I have a bridge in New York I'd like to sell you. I only take cash.

What men need to do is throw the cake out, but also sit down and shut the fuck up for once.

[(Anonymous)]

But how can he throw the cake out? If he covers it with a napkin and gently scoots it under the table, isn't that privilege-denying?

If men have gone 5,000+ years without questioning their cake, isn't now a good time to start?

DA

This is a good comment.

If men have all the power and are prejudiced, there can either be a revolution, where we essentially switch places (and there clearly are some women who are prejudiced against men who would enforce sexism after a theoretical power swap).

Alternatively, we can work on removing prejudice which in the long term will balance power. You know what that means? Actually talking about it with men, and having them question their privilege. Having them say "Why do I have this cake? If I have this cake unfairly, what's the next step?" Men clearly don't have as much cake as they used to, so it's obviously working thus far.
