...Mr. Greenberg teaches in Seattle and writes for Everyday Feminism. In an article published yesterday, titled “Looking for Proof of Male Privilege in Your Daily Life? Here Are 7 Undeniable Examples,” he tackles the concept of “male privilege.”
At the very beginning of the article, Mr. Greenberg includes a warning, writing, “This article is written from a White, cisgender, straight male’s perspective – in other words, from my perspective. Throughout, I discuss primarily experiences and research involving cisgender men and women, but I must acknowledge the limitations of such a perspective.”
Greenberg then told a short story that he said showed seven examples of male privilege, one which women aren’t able to do. This is what he wrote: “Thirty minutes after waking up, I zipped to the school at which I teach and experienced a damn fine day of teaching. Upon my return home, I headed out for a run on an unseasonably warm March afternoon. After a family dinner and tagging out of the bedtime routine for our four-year-old, I walked to a coffee shop, where I finally started this article, an achievement I rewarded with a short dose of Netflix.”
According to Greenberg, this story is a “staggering display of male privilege.”
...Third, he writes, “I Have the Privilege of Peeing Standing Up.” He begins this section by writing, “Between my two-hour classes, I needed to pee – an urge, I’m told by female colleagues, that a penis is able to keep at bay longer (yet another privilege, though physiological and cisgender-specific, to add to the list).”
He continues, “An open urinal or stall was waiting for me, as always. Such availability is not the norm for many women’s bathrooms… Pee privilege also extends to the outdoors, as it’s not uncommon to see men urinating in public.”

Urinating outdoors will get you put on a sex offender list in modern day America.
Pee privilege? What, I wonder is this idiot suggesting? That men cut off their penises or that women be given one?
Every time I read something like this, I think of a crude (unprintable) cartoon from the 70s about Womens' Lib leveling the playing field when it comes to women and men standing while peeing. Apparently a ridiculous, crude joke is now being discussed as a serious issue among the Leftwing lunatic fringe, which means it will be mainstreamed by the press shortly. Our nation is truly going insane.
Cisgender is a word that applies to the vast majority of people, describing a person who is not transgender. If a doctor announces, “It's a girl!” in the delivery room based on the child's body and that baby grows up to identify as a woman, that person is cisgender.
Sweet Jesus - I guess we can't say normal anymore?
It is almost as if LSD has been slipped into the nation’s food supply.
When it snows, leave a message outside his office window.
Whatever wrote this is not a man.
Why are so many A-holes given the forum to spread their retarded social opinions. Are we suddenly going to add millions of toilets so that they can make a man pee like a woman? If this guy feels so guilty about it there is a surgery to cure his guilt, I believe Rush calls it a Dickectomy.
My bet is this guy does not stand up to pee
Sorry, dude, but when you start referring to yourself as "cisgender", there's no other option:
This @#$@#$ must know he’s the FIRST to go under communist, fascist or muslim state. What makes these people want to die so badly.
Do they hate America that much that they are willing to be slaughtered or put into camps and worse just to bring down current day America.
or are they that stupid and naïve?
Yes.
Denken Sie — Er ist Ein Sitzpinkler vielleicht?
Why aren’t environmentalists pointing out that using urinals instead of toilets in drought-stricken states like California is called water conservation?
rofl
This guy is a cissy.
