Yapping on about the patriarchy, white privilege, male privilege etc is one example.
Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThis comes up a lot, and I really don’t know where it comes from. Who is telling you that you’re responsible for the misdeeds of others? Seriously, point that out, because I’m in my mid forties, I’m a white cishet American man, and I’ve never felt like I was being blamed for the sins of people who look and fuck like me. Really, it just sounds like a conservative strawman talking point, because nobody does this.

Are you saying those things don’t exist? I’m a white male, and I can acknowledge the privileges I have experienced without feeling responsibility for the injustice.

Literally the talk about how privileged men are is that

Okay, but that men are privileged is a fact. Do all men do well because of that? No. But we need to work with the facts, so we can better the system for everyone.

I’m not convinced that’s the case actually. We’re better off in some ways, definitely worse off in others.

Bullshit. I am privileged in many ways. It isn’t an insult to acknowledge that I don’t and haven’t faced the same challenges as other people. I can recognize that society hasn’t been fair to others without ignoring the obstacles and challenges I’ve faced.
Are you saying we’re not privileged?

I don’t think this is accurate. Male privilege is not the same issue as the whole “all men do X” vs “not all men” thing
