I think my fellow social scientists need to operationalize the notion of privilege. I’d suggest something along the lines of, “privilege is the relationship between what happens when someone with power in a community decides you’ve done something wrong, and the likelihood of your getting punished/not punished for it.”
That’s just a start, and just an opening bid. But I think we need to be more specific when we use these terms, recognizing the realities lots of people face while giving their personal stories the respect they deserve.
He's crying because his whiteness, his maleness, his PRIVILEGE, his "promised" perfect future is being questioned, and society never prepared him for failure or for facing the consequences of his actions #KavanaughHearings

1. Educate yourself on what it means to be a feminist and support gender equality – then, talk to other guys about feminism and gender equality.
2. Listen to and support women when they share stories of sexism and sexual assault.
3. Elevate the voices of women, especially at work or school. Let women speak for themselves.
4. Stand up for women being harassed by intervening (without being patronizing) or just being there for them.
5. Become more open to the range of gender expressions that you accept, and understand that gender is a spectrum, not a category.
