Men’s Rights Activists

Bit confused here. I see a lot of people on tumblr indicate racism is power + prejudice, and that sexism is power + prejudice, therefore men cannot face sexism and white people cannot face racism. So what does that make Institutionalized racism, and institutionalized sexism?
Asked by Anonymous
Institutionalized racism and institutionalized sexism is part of the make up of “power” in the formula power+prejudice. Someone(s) in a position of power have a prejudice and continue to uphold themselves while dehumanizes those they have prejudices against by institutional and systematic operations of oppression.
When people of colour are expected to educate white people as to their humanity, when women are expected to educate men, lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world, the oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.
Male privilege is “I have a boyfriend” being the only thing that can actually stop someone from hitting on you because they respect another man more than they respect your rejection/lack of interest.
The Sociological Cinema
There was actually research that was done that found that women who used an “I have a boyfriend/husband” excuse to reject unwanted sexual attention and harassment by their bosses were more likely to be left alone than those who used any other excuse (including “I’m not interested”)
Because men respect another man’s property (and that’s how they see us) than a woman’s autonomy.

ᏗᎦᏘᏍᏗ: How Are Women Oppressed?
Women in our society are not oppressed. You do not have any reason to be arguing that we are. You do not have any reason to hate men. You do not have any reason to try and convince women that they are victims when they…
Catcalls make us feel unsafe. Catcalls remind us that, at any moment, even when we feel safe, we could be assaulted. Even if we were all superwomen, capable of dodging all harm, catcalls tell us that we’re only objects, waiting to be objectified by the next brazen creep who walks by.

Can we also make the correlation between objectifying women, and objectifying a culture? Hm.

It is illegal for women to go topless in most cities, yet you can buy a magazine of a woman without her top on at any 7-11 store. So, you can sell breasts, but you cannot wear breasts, in America.
