I believe that there is male privilege. However, we naturally assume that it is all created by men. I am reminded of a story I read several years ago where a group of female graduate students at a university complained to a female professor in another department that there were no female TAs in the department where the female TAs were studying. It seemed the female grad students wished to be TAs as well. The female professor went to the head of the other department and asked why there were no female TAs. The head of the department stated that none of the female grad students had asked to be TAs while the male grad students had. It seems the female grad students were waiting to be asked, while the males went after the job. Is this the male grad student's fault or the female grad student's fault?
