male privilege

Male privilege refers to the unearned advantages that men often experience in society simply because they are male. These benefits can include being taken more seriously, earning higher pay, or being less likely to face certain societal risks or biases. It’s not about every individual man consciously benefiting, but about societal structures that favor men’s perspectives and experiences. Recognizing male privilege helps in understanding existing inequalities and working toward a more equitable society where everyone has equal opportunities and rights.
