Men are worse off now than in the past. Therefore male privilege isn't real. [View all]

Because men suffer, this means men and women are equal.

Even though men still earn more. Even though men are still not subject to the same level of systemic oppression.

When you look at historical earnings, the two lines are getting closer. Which means both that male privilege never existed and that male privilege is now over. And, no, there is nothing contradictory in that statement. Nothing at all. Nothing.

Are you happy you man-hating beasts?

You've crushed our wee-little man hearts.
