As men a lot of these "privileges" are granted. The only problem I see with this is that it is not a personal privilege. These are things that are granted due to a pre-existing culture in which we inhabit. Therefore for us to deny these rights we would have to inexplicably acknowledge them in a negative manner. This would cause more problems and an alienation of an individual from society. I feel as if most privileges are created by the others need for an excuse to explain a behavior. Well except for the monthly whatever's. "Do not let society control your destiny, fore societies are not stable. They fall everyday therefore be you in all that you do." I don't know if that is an actual quote I thought it sounded good when I said it in my head.
