Just curious – what privileges do you feel you've had to give up on the path to a slightly more equitable society?
Because as a man myself I honestly wouldn't be able to say which privileges I've lost that my forefathers enjoyed, besides sexism with impunity. In fact, I have it easier, for the time being at least. No military conscription for one. And with the recognition that the patriarchy hurts all I've been able to actualize myself in a way that is more authentic to myself than the constraints of past generations would have allowed.

None. The privileges that I was supposed to enjoy thanks to my gender were either vastly exaggerated or already revoked.
But I still get to "enjoy" the measures installed to counterbalance and compensate for them anyway.
Lucky you. I don't. And the voters for "equality" massively voted to keep it that way for me a few months ago [0]
