"Using Male privilege" seems out of place here, as it makes the entire list seem as though it's specifically targetting men. Even then, there are many relationships where the WOMAN is the one that does all the things under "using male privilege", and the man is a poor bloke that has to suck it up and live with it... because he's a man, and men can't go around crying because their partner makes them feel inferior or controlled. Instead, our "modern society" with such a great emphasis on "gender equality", instead emphasises giving more rights to women than men have, because men just aren't socially allowed to cry about women abusing them!
Pardon, but I'm really angsty about stuff like this.

Ok. I understand. But considering the particular situation in which I am writing then it IS a male doing the abusing. I understand your point and I am certainly type-casting, so. There.

PS that whole "men cant cry" thing is actually kinda old. men can cry. if they cant, they are seen as assholes.
