My point is not how the man feels about his privilege, but his effect on others. If he is not aware of privilege, he can do harm. A man frequently interrupting a woman can result in silencing her and other women. It is a sexist world, and men are more paid attention to. They hold more power. An individual man may not feel powerful, but by virtue of being recognized as a man, he can do more harm than he might attend. i expect all men to be aware of this whether they feel the benefits of privilege or not.
