I've been hearing a bit about male privilege, that men are inherently better off than a woman of the same social standing.
But I worry more about my son than my daughter. Going on my experiences I think he's far more likely to be physically assaulted or be offered drugs.
Men are more likely to be murdered, assaulted, commit suicide, be homeless, lose contact with their children after a relationship break up, be alcoholics, drug addicts and die younger.
And aren't boys doing worse at school than girls?
So under a patriarchal society, I just don't see the privilege, perhaps my privilege is getting in my way.
