I am pretty sure every man has been afraid and interrupted. Privilege is a real thing but these examples are terrible. If the biggest issue women had to worry about is being interrupted, the world would be an amazing place.
Also this is a very specific kind of privilege
Even just being afraid walking alone. One just need a quick lookup on male stats around that. TL;D, it's gruesome and it's definitely naive to think they're somehow walking around as "brave men". Discriminating gender like that around a shared social issue is the first note of irony here.
The second is I think if this pperson's raising that some sort of a privilege is at play when it's just normal everyday things we all share, they're speaking from a place farther up than most in society. I can't imagine most people having these as ticket items in their life and somehow pinning it to gender when it's just the norm for everyone.
Third note or irony; that could only be caused by the "patriarchy" living rent-free in the mind, which means it's won there with such nonsense being distraction...
In other words, If they want to get mad at the residue of a patriarchal society; Pay gaps. Women's rights in parts of the world. Religious ideals. Generational DV. Participation in STEM. So many actual things.
Some times I just think we're doomed and somehow deserve it... The progress is so slow 😔
Is being interrupted the biggest issue for women? Most likely it’s not. I still think it’s very important to mention that kind of issues. Why? The biggest issue women have is how normalised their issues have become that they don’t even count anymore.
