    Stop arguing semmantics and understand what they’re saying! This is about communication, not being technically correct.

    FFS, your post is exactly portraying the problem.

    You even use a much better word: equality. Yet argue in favor of using a less effective word… Truly sad.

      Semantics are important and I do understand what they are saying. Did you read my comment?

      it implies those people have something they shouldn’t have

      This for example. Male privilege is something men shouldn’t have since it’s based entirely on gender. So the privilege teeds to be abolished for equality to happen.

      And as I said, of course men gets defensive when its problematized and put in the spotlight, you may support equality but who wants to lose their advantages? 🤷

      Ironically enough your comment also focused on the semantics instead of the issue at hand… :)
