Can anyone suggest a good male privilege checklist?

I don't mean the one at Alas, A Blog... but an actually comprehensive one that's at least as good as Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.

Yeah, that's part of what inspired The Problem with "Privilege"...maybe I should link to it more explicitly. But I haven't had the sense that they care.

I was actually looking for such a list to be like, hmm, how did passing as/living as male affect my life and shape me? What privilege was that... and that one...I got nothin'. Like, there's nothing (almost nothing) you can look at and be like, yup that happens in my life or nope, it doesn't...

I can read the checklist and identify with the way male privilege has been wielded against me, but the phrasing is pretty awful.

I seriously don't identify with ever having had male privilege, though. It may be time diluting my memories or it may be that I've never passed or presented myself as an adult man. I guess my worst habit is that I tend to physically surround myself with books and bags and purses in public to keep people from sitting near me.

And of course, what this means is that any male privilege checklist I write would be mean feminist list of things that men do that piss me off.

Nod. I mean, you've read BI, I think MP was ascribed to me by others, and while that had some advantages, it doesn't really compensate for heightened misogyny now...

I guess I noticed just how much the way I was treated changed, the frequency of sexual harassment, the frequency of getting shut down in conversations and the power of the statement 'you're talking too much' rising... so, I feel like being treated as such affected my life, but it's def. passing-as-male priv, not actual male priv...
