Do any MRA's acknowledge other forms of unearned privilege?
Putting aside gender specific privilege for a bit. Do you think that you have any unearned privilege?

I can't speak to MRAs specifically, but I think it's almost an oxymoron to use the term unearned privilege. When is a privilege ever earned or deserved? For it to be given by those in power as a benefit to a specific group, implies it's not earned.
I don't really have any privileges earned or unearned. People often point to "privileges", that are actually not privileges at all.

Unearned privileges for MRAs that are not gender specific?
Or unearned privileges for people in general?
Are you just trying to cause trouble?

Maybe like, favors from the justice system, the trust that one's word is always correct, the object of sympathy as the ultimate victim, the norm that every action one did had a purpose even when the action one committed was unlawful or wrong --
Unearned privilege like that you mean ??? Im sorry -- Im no MRA, but a simple observation is enough to make you clearly see that these are "women only" privileges ---

Life is a "privilege". We did not earn it.
But, you are gonna have to give it back, whether you want to or not.
