Comment on PFP: Privilege by ahallibu

That “male privilege checklist” strikes me on a deep level! I have a wonderful husband who is supportive of my career and helpful around the house. I know when we have children, he will be an ever-present part of their daily lives. And yet, those around us sometimes seem to feel that he should be rewarded for what I feel are basic expectations in an egalitarian relationship. For example, I have been questioned (a) why I am taking so long to have kids, (b) whether he is going to move with me when I go to my next job, and (c) how I managed to land such a “catch” who can cook and clean. No one would ever ask him these things about me! The good part is, he is just as frustrated as I am when I tell him these stories and fully acknowledges his privilege in these scenarios.
