That wasn't what I said. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt tho, and try to explain it. You are somehow thinking that having a privilege in a system is the privileged's fault, when in reality they are too a victim of the same system. Of course men aren't at fault here in this situation, but they still have privilege in it. In this scenario that means men don't have to worry about repeated usage of clothes the way women do, so they are in a favoured position, they are privileged. This is what it means. No one here is saying that men are the culprit of this system, rather that men don't experience the same social pressure when it comes to clothes.

I disagree. The first tweet IS right. It is male privilege that men can wear the same outfit multiple times, and it doesn't imply it's enforced by men, it just states that it exist. The fact that women enforce this double standard IS male privilege even when men aren't to blame
I also say sun in place of sun
Some people just want a repeat of the last century, from fascism, to rapid technological advancement, to a pandemic in the respective year 20 of each century. We only need an economic crisis at the end of this decade and we're done. Basically millennials are the victorians of the future
This warning saved my life
The only country where it had these historical negative connotations is the USA, so he might be from literally any other country on earth
If it's anything like Valhalla or odyssey I'm probably gonna like it, those games were amazing
I feel that's a line taken from Foundation by Asimov, describing the fall of the galactic empire
Because not everywhere works exactly like the US? Besides the point, if you work at a McDonald's, they are not going to give you a phone so you can text your manager. If you don't have a means of communication you are not getting the job.
The only SMS I've gotten in the last 5 years are the double authentication ones. WhatsApp is the default way of texting in many countries. Outside of the US, when you ask people to stop using WhatsApp, chances are you are asking them to give up texting entirely. Which you must realize is complicated to say the least
Almost all jobs in which you have to interact with people, so most of them. I work in an office and i need it to communicate with clients, with my boss or coworkers, or with a government agency. You have to understand that WhatsApp is ubiquitous outside of the US. Here we never got free SMS, so WhatsApp became the default way of texting. Even people on iphones use WhatsApp here

English Is not my first language, but I agree that should be called female privilege. The same when women don't get drafted. I think that inference you mentioned is one of the reasons people have negative thoughts about feminism, when in reality all it aims to do is get rid of the different social pressure men and women receive. The point of feminism is not to hate men, but to disentangle our society of harmful expectation, to make it more fair for both men AND women. Circling back to the clothes thing, feminism would have it for women to not be judged by women for repeating clothes, and to give another opposite example, feminism would have it for men to have an easier time entering childcare.
