    False accusations are inexcusable and can ruin men’s lives and hurt the integrity of real reports by other women. I’m sorry if this is something you went through.

    However, two things can be true at the same time. False accusations are bad, and the rates of unreported sexual assault far eclipse that of false accusations.

    Male privilege does not mean that all aspects of men’s lives are easier, only that you have better statistical odds compared to a woman in identical circumstances as you.

    Acknowledging male privilege isn’t an act of denying the existence of men’s issues. It’s about acknowledging women’s issues that were not visible to men until it was pointed out.
