"Privilege is when equality feels like oppression." When "straight white cis male" is the default, all resources are "male" resources. All history is "male" history. Not sure how that's so unfair.
There are men-only 12 step meetings. There are men-only homeless shelters (way more than there are for women or LGBTQ folks actually). Men-only recovery programs. Men-only church groups and support groups. A few years ago a domestic violence org in my hometown changed from being women-only to accepting all genders, including straight cis men, and it certainly can't be the only one in the US. And of course men had to create a male counterpart to International Women's Day. There's a million resources and groups for prostate cancer and testicular cancer (because I've literally heard men complain about the amount of recognition breast cancer gets - not that breast cancer only affects women...) Plus your "no nut/no shave November." And of course, any space, organization, or institution that is not gender specific to begin with generally becomes dominated by straight white cis men. Maybe you just aren't looking hard enough for these "male resources."
I know, I have no social media and just left reddit too. I hate it when I hear that not being on social media is a "red flag" in the dating scene. But I guess I wouldn't want to be with someone who cared so little about privacy anyway.
I didn't learn about it until my political sociology course in college.
On a side note, A Different Mirror: A History of Multiculturalism in America by Ronald Takaki is a really good book to read for more of these lesser known historical events that should really be known by everyone.
It's not that deep. It's just misogyny.
