Can someone provide examples of male privilege in today's Western culture?

The draft, Circumcision, differential sentencing in the criminal courts, and treatment in the family courts. Being portrayed as bloodthirsty callous slobs and dimwitted oafs or predators in the media. Differences in educational outcomes and availability in social services and medical research funding.

Yep it just stinks of privilege!

You just gotta love that whole "much of it is sublte" card. It allows feminists and feminists posing as men on the Internet to claim oppression where none exists.

Men are only having our kids aborted without our consent, forced to go along with whatever a woman decides for the rest of our lives, forced into slavery (by being ordered to pay more child support than we're earning and being sent to prison when we can't pay for it), and denied custody of our children just for being born male. And oh yeah, our wife can slap us and then take away our house and kids because of VAWA laws.

But hey. Some people are upset that women can't walk alone safely late at night (without being concerned that NO ONE can do this - men don't want to be mugged, you know) and that girls don't get called on as often as boys (without doing ANY research into how often girls raise their hands in normal classroom settings, that would factor into any learned behavior from any teachers studied in this regard).

btw, don't waste your time getting into the debate about there being more politicians. That's the feminists' game: the existence of, well, every law on the books which is related to women in any way is proof that politicians are forced to pander to their desires, regardless of the politician's gender. This whole thing is the feminists' game: by being subtle manipulators throughout history without wielding the actual power very often, women have set up just enough room for plausible deniability. Feminists like to claim men have always been responsible for the atrocities, and if they ever opened up a history book in their lives, they would find countless examples of women manipulating the situations to bring about endless suffering in their own ways. The play Macbeth, while historically inaccurate, is an example of the sorts of political games Will Shakespeare most likely witnessed going on when he had worked in nobility's court as a youth, and Alexander the Great's mother had his step brother killed so her own son would inherit the throne. And let's not forget Elizabeth I, who, in order to further Protestanism, locked the Catholic preacher Edmun Campion in the Tower of London, had him tortured for months, and then forced him into a public debate without any time to prepare for it. Despite his protestations of this, he won the debate by most all accounts, so she repeated this procedure twice more, being sure to limit what he was allowed to say each time until she was satisfied. Then she had him hung, drawn, and quartered.

Yep, it's always been men. No violence has ever been the fault of a woman.

If anything men bare the burden of the opposite sex. An example would be how a woman can decide if she wants to have an abortion while the man has no input (form legal stand-point). Then if decided the pregnancy will go full term, the woman can hold the man financially responsible. I am not passing a moral decision either way but merely making the point. Personally I don't believe in abortion but I believe in personal freedom and liberty so we should be free to make these choices. The inequality however is when a man has no say in such matters because he's a man and apparently held to a higher standard. This is just one example that comes to mind. In other areas men have a couple privileges. One that comes to mind is the fact that men are much more likely to earn more. So I guess that makes paying child support and allimony a little easier lol.
