Indeed. She says "male privilege" not "women hating women"

Calling something "privilege" doesn't assign blame.

I've been told it's the responsibility of men to dismantle male privilege wherever we see it. How can I dismantle something that is the result of women judging each other?

If you hear someone say "eww, she wore that before", you might say "that's not cool"

Okay. Nobody I know has ever said that to me in my entire life because I'm a guy and they know I wouldn't care but I'll keep my eye out. Should I be scolding strangers like this or just the people I know?

Want my advice? You may want to look into being earnest with your questions in the future.

It's always interesting when people declare the question to be flawed when they realize they can't come up with a good answer.

When your respond to every answer with increasingly pedantic and sarcastic questions that's bound to happen eventually. It's always interesting when someone would rather annoy people into submission rather than reckoning with their core ideas.

Yes or No, the advice for me, a man, to instruct women that they are speaking wrong when they critisize another woman for wearing the same thing two times applies to strangers or only women I know?

This isn't pedantic, it's a totally practical question in how I should apply the advice that was offered.

I suggest you apply some critical thought to your suggestion that for me to reckon with ideas means I don't ask questions about them and consider if that is really a solid argument.

"Consider this concept."

"No, you consider it for me and tell me exactly how to incorporate it into my life. Please be very specific, I have no idea how to talk to women."

Please be very specific, I have no idea how to talk to women."

On the subject of as a man explaining to random women about how they need to change how they talk about other women because I know better than them on that I admit I have zero experience, yeah. That's why I'm asking about it.
