While there is still a truth that men earn more than women, that issue is shrinking by the day. Many women now earn very good money, and more and more businesses are making sure that pay is equal among gender. (strangely enough, it is liberal hollywood that is among most at fault with unequal pay....) So 30 years ago, definitely one could say that having male privilege as far as employment goes and a means to not advance further in gender issues, today, not nearly as much.
