I think every male has the privilege of being unaware of their privileges. Some feel as though they don't have privileges over females which is untrue. Men are put on much higher pedestals than females. Meaning they are expected to run households, not sacrifice their careers to stay at home with the children, and even have a better career then a woman would.

This is probably the most compelling of all the privileges listed. How do men being unaware of their privilege work further to their advantage? In other words, by not realizing that certain aspects of their life are automatically more accessible or easire for them, how do men contribute to the gap that exists between them and women?
