(19,841 posts)Being perceived as physically stronger gives one social privilege, whether over females or weak males, but especially females. OK how does that work? It could be reasonably argued that females need physical protection, at least from male predators or predatory nations. Generally this bad job falls to men. Many men believe that the fact that they fight "for" women makes them entitled to power over those same women. Men give protection to women, and women are beholden to them for it. Would you deny that this attitude runs through our society?
Your penis allows you social privileges. Never mind pissing, it is a symbol of being the right gender, the better gender, the preferred gender. Womens' body parts are not so exalted.
Maybe you should play sometime. You're all about rules and rigid roles. Lighten up maybe? Right now I can't figure out what side of the fence you're on...you seem so combative and defensive I'm not sure you're on the feminist side, no matter what label you want to give it. You seem to believe in equality in theory, but you don't really like women maybe? Women are wrong to discuss male privilege? WTF. Sorry I don't get your point. Too dumb I guess.
Care to enlighten? I'm listening...make it For Dummies, OK?
