Duh, that's one of our many privileges.

A lot of men also get an entirely free ride by the state. They don't have to work at all! Sure it's a bit confining and often involuntary but come on, free room and board for decades? Who wouldn't want that. Very few women get that privilege.

And men get to sleep for free in much greater numbers under publicly financed bridges. By comparison very few women get to enjoy that privilege. We are literally giving men free bridges to sleep under.

Men have had it so great for so long maybe it's time were share some of those privileges with women.
