You can’t spend more than a few minutes in a feminist space without hearing people talk about privilege. And if you’re new to feminism, the concept can be overwhelming. What exactly does “privilege” mean? What does it look like in today’s society?

Top picture is a bit exaggerated, don't you think? Is it a pose?
Are you kidding me? Have you ever been on the subway? It's full of white males manspreading just like that, while horrified womyn cover their daughters' eyes.
White men are privileged BY DEFINITION, and people of color and womyn are victims BY DEFINITION. Nothing will ever change that, but white males should continue trying to change it anyway by paying more.
If i could put my "package" on my lap like the lady to the right then I would gladly sit with my legs together.
And as a rule, any time I can convince a female to accept my package they seem to be doing some spreading themselves?
#rape
An injustice has been done here!
Why was my post flagged as rape. As a courier I deliver many heavy packages through out the day and have no time to sit with packages on my lap.
Proper lifting techniques require "Feet should be shoulder width apart" thus any female who safely tries to lift the heavy package has to spread their feet apart or risk back injury.
My assumption is some testosterone charged pervert misinterpreted what I posted and in their own deranged minds made it sexual thus fulfilling their own rape fantasies.
Perhaps it is time all AT staff underwent a refresher in Sensitivity training or you start testing for toxic masculinity. I suggest you start with an all soy diet served in the employee cafeteria.
My apologies. Of course you are correct.
I'm a bit edgy today as I have consumed a lot of Keurig coffee in an attempt to offset the boycott the right wing Hannity supporters have been waging.
I advise to take healthy doses of our pharmaceutical-industry overlord prescribed drugs with coffee which should help you to calm down.
On another note, AT staff is not infested by toxic masculinity. A green vegan diet followed by prayers to Mother Earth in drum circles, ritual self-shaming and flogging for white male crimes and AT article reading has decreased testosterone levels to a nearly acceptable minimum of close to zero.
You are very welcome. With respect to accredited pharmaceuticals, they simply can not hurt you - would FDA approve anything that could be harmful?

Thank you Doctor b6 for your medical advice. I had seen your other posts and had missed the Dr. as it was not in proper context.
Last time I mixed prescriptions with high levels of caffeine and alcohol I had homicidal rage and luckily only hurt myself.
However you being a MD I feel like I can trust your advice and am headed to nana's medicine cabinet.
What about MEN who are offended??? Except for homos like Barney Fag, this guy is offensive to most real MEN. [I still think this image is meant to rile people and, as such, is posed.]
