> Privileges, you mean rights? No, I mean privileges, don't argue with a strawman. > The same rights that men already have? Women hasn't lacked a single right men had in my country for my entire life, but women has many legal rights/privileges that men hasn't had in my life. That is why I said privileges and not rights. Maybe they need those privileges to make up for cultural privileges men has, but you can see why some men think that maybe they gained too many.

Gender salary gap is a man's privilege, even in your country, to put just one example: https://ourworldindata.org/economic-inequality-by-gender https://ourworldindata.org/economic-inequality-by-gender OTOH I am not going to ask what "privileges" women have in your country, but I hope you don't count abortion, longer maternity leave, reduced VAT in feminine hygiene products and such, as women's privilege.

  Gender salary gap is a privilege of hours worked and work experience. People who work full time get the privilege of getting more paid that those working half time. The linked ourworldindata page also says this, as the gender salary gap is about inequality and not necessary discrimination. The ourworldindata page does also not use the word privilege. A major cause of inequality is that mothers spend less time in the work force during and after pregnancy, and that there are a higher ratio of mothers than fathers. Fathers also do not take out their given parental leave, with many reporting that they are not allowed to because of cultural discrimination (including from their partners).

Don't mix rights and privileges.
