    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.

      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.
