It turns out the Flash Gordon crew had nothing to worry about. Look what happened to Chris Clarke when he peeled off that male privilege and washed it down the sink. That’s what it’s often like when you’re a decent person because you want to be. For fuck’s sake, as long as you don’t tell anyone that you’re only being nice and understanding and shit to get women to stroke your ego, you’ll probably get the same results he did, if you can manage to be half as charming.

I mean, using your privilege is another option, and there’s certainly an argument for that. I imagine following strange women around to watch them squirm would make a guy feel pretty powerful. It might even get some of your friends to buy you a beer.

The one I wouldn’t go for is whining about how you want to be a nice guy, really you do, but you just can’t stand the thought of toiling away in the darkness and dying an unsung hero. You don’t get the gratitude or the asshole rush out of that, so what’s the point?
