Question

According to Barry Deutsch, "The Male Privilege Checklist," what are some of the privileges automatically conferred to some men in society? How do they function to maintain women in subordinate roles?

Answer 1

Answer:

1).Political advantages and other rights meant for men.

2). Men likely to be sexually harassed.

Explanation:

According to our everyday living and observations in our societies, and also the clamouring for gender equality between the male and female gender, a mans odds of being hired for a job, when faced against female applicants, are probably skewed in his favour. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed. Men who appear to come from poverty or the working class are much more likely to be turned away prestigious jobs than a middle class.

Confident i can boast that my co-workers won't think I got my job because of my sex or even though that might be true. This is far more true for white men than for many men of color.

If I am never promoted, it's not because of my sex. But may well be due to my race or ethnicity, if I'm not white. Also in a case where I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won't be seen as a black mark against my entire sex's capabilities.
