Can anyone think of any true examples of “male privilege”?

Not facing institutionalized sexism

The federal Equity Hiring Program in Canada gives preferential hiring to women and has since the early 1990s, and so do most Canadian provincial and civic governments, too.

There's abundant examples of sex-preferential bursaries, scholarships, etc. that almost exclusively fund women and not men at virtually every university or college, and women are the raw majority of graduates and have been since the late 1980s. There's also multiple studies that show the enormous sex bias in grade school teachers and even high school teachers impacts boys because of biased marking by those female teachers.

Then we move onto the criminal justice system where in both the US and Canada the single biggest beneficial trait you can have when facing that system is to be female, or the military where for years you couldn't even be drafted if you were female, and in the US you couldn't even vote as a man if you didn't register for that draft.

And that's just one entry in your little list of myths. Shall I puncture some more?
