We absolutely do not have the same power as men. Males are 90% of corporate CEOs, and men are 75% of government leaders, even though women are the majority of the population.

Hispanic women for example make .58 compared to the $1.00 of a white male. Men are actively right at this moment, considering legislation that limits the autonomy that women have over their bodies (no woman has ever pushed legislation to control men’s bodies).

Men are the majority of billionaires on this planet. And, 1 in 3 women in America will be a victim of sexual assault by a man in her lifetime - which is an act of dominance and power.

It’s like a fish swimming around in water, while other people are drowning. You have no idea what it’s like to be a woman in this or any culture because all you’ve known is your male privilege.
