> I'm not arguing against white men's privilege. And by the way, the term "white men" can be found nowhere in the article or in my comment, and I don't know why you are dragging race into this.

Because in the United States, "black male privilege" isn't a thing. "Male Privilege" = "WHITE Male Privilege"

Do please give examples of the, "benefits of the man's privilege is in decline" when compared to the population in whole. Please do so without seeing this as an adjustment in overall equality.

No, because that has absolutely nothing to do with what anyone here is talking about. Everything I wrote previously answers your question, but you're trying to apply racial conflict theory to a phenomenon that doesn't require it. Frankly, I'm not going to spend time explaining why black men have male privilege over black women, as I can hardly believe that you've seriously considered even the most basic of arguments against your overly reductionist and unnecessarily divisive definition of male privilege. This wasn't even specifically about general male privilege, but about the "economically privileged gender."
