Female privilege is not being required to sign up for the draft.

Male privilege is being able to join the military without being ridiculed or being called a dyke, or having your femininity questioned. Male privilege is being able to fight for the country you love on the front lines, and being viewed as physically capable to do so. Male privilege is being able to do the job you want in the military without bars due to your gender, without being expected to go into the medical or administrative careers in the military. Male privilege is being able to engage in activities such as shooting rifles, exercising frequently, and burping, and not receiving scathing comments from your family and/or friends about how you are “never going to find a husband”. Male privilege is being able to choose a career that plays upon your strengths, such as physical acuity and strong leadership skills, and not being prevented from or being judged for doing so. 

A misogynistic society is one in which women find themselves in situations where they are on the front lines, and legally not being able to help their fellow countrymen and women because of their gender, even though they could save them.

American soldiers who are women have found themselves in these situations during the Iraq war, and continue to find themselves in these situations when they are deployed to Afghanistan to this day. 

Many, many careers are expected to be held only by men, and it is assumed that women need to be protected because they are physically weaker than men, when, in fact, many females are much more capable soldiers and much more inspiring leaders than their male counterparts.

Male privilege is having an all cis male panel discussing and regulating issues pertaining to people with different reproductive organs from them.

Male privilege is not having your body and your bodily autonomy be considered a political battlefield, as something to control via legislature.

Why are women suddenly second-class citizens that can’t make their own health choices?

"Beauty and purity go hand in hand, and are tied up in a false sense of modesty. This type of attractiveness comes from being white, virginal, conventionally attractive and actively or deliberately ignorant of meeting that standard of attractiveness. It comes from needing to be seen as beautiful even “without any makeup on” but in “skin-tight jeans” if you’re Katy Perry, from Bruno Mars ‘knowing’ that “when I compliment her, she won’t believe me,” and in reminding a boy that he should be dating a girl who isn’t a shallow hussy, if you’re Taylor Swift.
All of this encourages girls to constantly strive to meet an arbitrary standard of attractiveness that fuels multiple industries (dieting and cosmetics, primarily) while reminding them that their job is to be appealing to men but never to admit that they’re trying to be good-looking for men, and never admit that they look good – especially if they’re not skinny or white. It creates a maelstrom of unhealthy attitudes about girls’ bodies and sexuality. Girls must be all things: attractive and unknowing, winking about sex and flaunting their sexuality but never expressing desire or – worse – actually having sex, and presenting their bodies as sexually available while deriding those girls whose sex lives are more active than their own. They must do all this while being straight, slender and white and preferably blonde or they’re not really even in the game to begin with."

“I want a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets”. Yeah, I agree with all of this.
