We’re guessing it’s not having to wear a tie, but what is the best thing about being a man?
Is it a stereotypical thing, like not being overly emotional or being able to open the pickle jar?
Maybe it’s a male privilege thing. Do you love it that people assume you’re competent or that someone else generally cooks for you?
Also, do other men agree with you? Is it their favorite thing too? Is this something guys even talk about or think about?

For a second there I actually thought this was an honest request. Instead it’s a list of thinly-veiled accusations. Yep, LOVE my male privilege. Nothing gives me a hard-on like exercising my dominance. Just this morning I thought, “Hmm, I’m feeling a patriarchal urge,” so I came into work and pimp smacked my female coworker. Gotta keep them bitches in line, y’know?

In the computer biz, the phrase is GIGO – meaning “garbage in, garbage out”.
I like being a man because I am one. Nothing more nothing less. Would I like to be a woman? Maybe. But I’m not one so no point contemplating it.
