Male Privilege 

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.
Examples of male privilege:

White Male Privilege 

White Male Privilege

A term that "certain" ignorant and thin-skinned white dudes get butthurt over because they don't have even the slightest understanding of the difficulties that racial minorities, women, and LGBT folks face on a regular basis in society. They also have no understanding of the inherent advantages that white heterosexual males have in western countries, so they whine about being "persecuted" when people use the term "white male privilege". In actuality, these particular folks have no comprehension of what real persecution is.
EXAMPLE #1
BUTTHURT MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST: Brie Larson is a misandrist because she used the term "white male privilege" in an interview for Captain Marvel! I'm gonna post a 30-minute YouTube video of me whining about it!
ME: ...........Dude. You need to get a girlfriend or a hobby.
