#NotAllMen Understand Male Entitlement
In today’s world, male privilege- the theory that “men have unearned advantages or rights that are granted to them solely on the basis of sex”- is a dominating factor in today’s pop-culture scheme. This social supremacy leads directly to male entitlement- the belief by men that they are superior to women and therefor deserve preferential treatment. Everything from famous youtube videos, to twitter hashtags, to supreme court rulings, to trial coverage in the media are influenced by this heterosexual male entitlement to some degree. In order to change this gender-biased status quo, it is time for men to be aware of these problems as they are reoccurring in today's society and work as a society to end them because #YesAllWomen deserve equal opportunity to their male counterparts.
