First of all, what is power, oppression and privilege?

The ability to modify, influence, and effect things is referred to as power.

The use of authority to disempower, isolate, silence, or otherwise subordinate one social group or category, usually in order to further empower and/or privilege the oppressor, is known as oppression. It's important to note that oppression isn't "reversible." It doesn't work in reverse (for example, misandry, heterophobia, reverse racism) since the oppressed minority is powerless in the scenario.

A privilege is a right or advantage that is only granted to a certain group or category of people. Privilege is about groups of people rather than individuals. For example, a poor man still has a privilege over a poor woman due to the long going system of patriarchy.

Many men often ask, "Why must we take accountability for what men in the past did?" And the answer to it is simple. Because you still exercise the privileges men in the past kept for themselves. It is ironic to complain about being "blamed" for patriarchy when you're an active participant of the system and are consciously or unconsciously benefitting from it. Denying that you are profiting off of it is ignorance at its best because you know in your heart that's not true.
