A product of centuries of social conditioning that has ingrained male superiority (and, conversely, female inferiority) into our collective consciousness, resulting in a set of social, economic and political advantages accorded to men solely on the basis of their sex.
Naysayers claim that male privilege is confined to the past. Indeed, every generation likes to believe they live in fair and just times. But in reality, centuries of male privilege does not just vanish overnight and will likely take centuries to fully eradicate.

A pejorative term for people who acknowledge the existence of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry. It was created by insecure straight white cisgender men who are terrified of losing their privileged status and preferential treatment in society as well as their ability to treat women and minorities like pieces of trash with public approval.
Person #1: I don't think it's OK to kill a man just because he's black.
Person #2: STFU AND DIE YOU STUPID SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR!!!

An ugly and/or emotionally inept man who feels that the problems in his life are caused by his sex rather than his own incompetence and sloth.
Rather than trying to improve his lot in life, the masculist prefers to try to drag women down to his level of filth and incompetence.

Masculist: All rape victims are lying sluts, and any woman who reports a rape should be immediately imprisoned, if not executed.

A loose association of anti-racist groups who engage in popular resistance to fascism. Antifa members recognize the state's refusal to take action against fascist violence and are thus forced to take matters into their own hands to protect their communities.
Antifa members are historically literate and have studied how European fascists used free speech and free assembly as weapons to seize control of their governments and ultimately do away with such liberties. They understand that Nazism and fascism are fundamentally violent, dictatorial ideologies that must be squashed and will exhaust all nonviolent means before resorting to defensive violence.
The establishment vilifies Antifa groups as "terrorists" precisely because they challenge the white supremacist social order and frustrate the ability of white supremacists to use racial minorities as punching bags.

Cornell West: "If it hadn’t been for antifa protecting us (black Charlottesville clergymembers) from the fascists, we would've been crushed like cockroaches."

A person who subscribes to the horrid belief that women are human beings who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, rather than gold-digging sluts, crazy bitches, harpy shrews, attention-seeking whores and vindictive liars who deserve to be insulted, degraded, ridiculed, abused, beaten, raped and murdered on a daily basis for the crime of having a vagina.
As the old feminist saying goes, "If we get raped, it's our fault. If we get bashed, we must have provoked it. And if we raise our voices, we're nagging bitches."
