[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But, many , many, many men do suck - in all corners of women’s lives - male colleagues, bosses, peers, relatives members of the public. It deeply affects the quality and trajectory of our lives.  If you can’t recognize that and instead feel threatened by it, think your wife should just keep quiet about it, or if you feel obligated to stick up for sucky men just because they are your male brethren, then, TBH, there is something wrong with you and you should do some serious self-reflection.

And if you’re about to respond - but I don’t suck and I’m a man so why should I tolerate being lumped in with all the men?  Well, that means you do not even begin to recognize the immense male privilege you have benefitted from every second of your life since you were born. [/quote]

You would not say the same thing if a man was beset by his female colleagues, bosses, peers, relatives, etc. and abstracted his negative feelings about them onto women as a whole. You'll try to justify the double standard by some hand waving about societal power, but it's still wrong. [/quote]

NP. If women subjected men to everything that men subject women to I would! For sure. But that is not the world we live in.
