Most of the things you say can actually be evidence AGAINST so called female privilege. We'll go one by one...

1.I can socialise without the fear of being sexually manipulated and/or seduced. (girls only bars/security in my building, men will jump to my aid if I scream vs. other genders who might scream, separate areas on public transport between 9pm-7am to protect me if I want it)
So... let me see if I got this correctly, you think women are out there to get you? To sexually manipulate you? Oh, because men are just helpless when it comes to their desire for sex and can't possibly be manipulative themselves? And yes, there are bars for men. They are called gays bars. Just like only women bars are for lesbians. That simple.

2.I can enjoy the luxuries of staying at home and rely on my spouse for financial security without being frowned upon by society for doing so.
NO! This is only true for RICH women. Poor women have to work their asses off or otherwise they will be stigmatized as lazy, "welfare queens". In fact, very often poor women often have to work hard only to come home and take care of the children, the house and satisfy her husband sexually who does not help in house leading whatsoever.

3.I can openly talk about my mental health and emotions without being negatively judged by society.
No. All people who suffer from mental health issues are stigmatized and referred to as "crazy", "unstable", and I could go on and on. I have a friend who's bipolar and when we were in high school she told me and other friends of her condition. One started talking about it and soon she was labeled as crazy by most kids. And men do talk about their emotions, especially if it's hate, anger, disappointment. In toxic masculinity culture, men may be afraid to talk to other men about their feelings (especially if sadness) but they can definitely talk to the women in their lives. It's men who have to learn to listen and sympathize with each other, as women are allowed to talk about their feelings with each other.

4.I am not expected to remain onboard a sinking ship in order to allow the opposite gender to reach safety first.
True...but does not apply everywhere anymore.

5.I am able to look after my children and simultaneously apply for financial compensation from my workplace without being negatively judged by society.
This is not true for all countries. On most there's actually no legal requirement.

6.In case of divorce, I get greater custody over my children and a greater say in the situation, along with greater sympathy from the judiciary and greater freedom to choose my child's co-parent.
No, not more sympathy. Actually women are more likely to ask for their children's custody, so are far more likely to get it. Also, most countries have laws that grant joint custody, but generally less men want to benefit from it.

7.I will receive lighter prison sentences and better judicial treatment simply because of my gender.
Men are FAR more likely to commit violent crime and thus are punished accordingly. This is not an exemple of discrimination.

8.Most domestic violence perpetrators of my gender do not get arrested in comparison to the counterparts of the opposite gender.
Men are more likely to be the one doing the beating. Therefore, more men are arrested for domestic violence than women.
Quote from: Sarah leah on July 25, 2017, 08:07:04 AM
9.My gender does not commit suicide at a multiple rate in comparison to the opposite gender.
No, women are more likely to attempt suicide with less lethal and immediate means (drug overdose) while men are more likely to use immediate and lethal means (gun shooting), thus more men die from those attemps. Most completed suicides are from men, however women attempting suicide far outnumber men.

10.My gender does not comprise most workplace deaths by number and percentage.
True. Because men are more likely to choose high risk jobs, nobody is pointing a gun at them to take these jobs.
Quote from: Sarah leah on July 25, 2017, 08:07:04 AM
11.I am less likely to be falsely accused of rape.
Basic math. Women are far less likely to commit rape than men. Thus, more men are likely to be falsely accused but the rate of false accusation is still low and similar to other crimes. Not to mention most rape still is underreported, as prosecution and conviction of the crime is VERY hard and women are dragged through the mud for having the guts to report it.

12.The majority of homeless people are not my gender.
No... but many women who are homeless turn to selling their bodies for survival. Men are less likely to be abused when homeless and thus more visible. Not to mention women living on the streets face much more higher risk for sex crime than men. Furthermore, many homeless are children.

13.I have a lower chance of being judged as a paedophile for no reason e.g. I can sit next to a child on public transport without being judged.
Men are more likely to pedophiles. It's true that men are viewed more suspiciously than women when it comes to children and it shoudn't always be so. But a man actively choosing to sit next to children not known to him when he has the option not to should be viewed suspiciously (ie. grooming).

14.I enjoy programs that aim at promoting the hiring of my gender into the workplace.
Uh, yes. Because workplace discrimination was and continues to be a thing in many places. It wouldn't exist if it wasn't the case.

15.I have "reproductive rights" and I get the final say on whether my child gets to live or die while he/she is still in the mother's womb.
True... But who is going to carry the child? Who's going to have all the side effects from hormone secretion and the growth of the baby? Who's going to hurt? Who will likely take care of the child when born?

16.It is completely illegal to forcefully circumcise or mutilate the sexual organs of children who are my gender.
Yes... But circumcision is mostly a religious norm for Jews. And it's not the penis that is cut, it's skin. As for female genital mutilation, it's one of the main areas of deriving sexual pleasure for girls and women, the clitoris, that is cut.

17.The children of my gender who are sexually exploited or used as prostitutes are prioritised by authorities over those of the opposite gender.
Any evidence to back this up? I have never found any studies claiming so.
Quote from: Sarah leah on July 25, 2017, 08:07:04 AM
18.People of my gender have a greater likelihood of entering university than those of the opposite gender.
This is actually a very recente phenomenon. And speaks of women's ambitions, hard work and desire to be seen as equal in the workplace. Regardless, men are still being paid more even if the women are overqualified.

19.The majority of homicide deaths, combat deaths and deaths by capital punishment as percentages does not constitute people of my gender.
Combat deaths? Really? How about bombs in Syria falling in Aleppo. You think they magically don't kill women? War is war and it kills, destroys everyone and everything. Women are not immune to the consequences of war, and if not killed, are far more likely to suffer crime against will and enslavement. Yes, men are far more likely to be murdered because they are also more likely to get into violent fights. And finally men are more likely to commit violent crime and thus face death penalty more often.

20.My gender does not pay the majority of taxes.
People who earn less, pay less taxes. Women generally earn less than men. Don't know what's your point.
sorry for the gramatical mistakes
Conculsion: there are sure disadvantages to being a man, it's not all roses but this doesn't account for what women have to face, and it certainly doesn't deny that women still have it harder in many ways. Most of this list actually is an exemple of evidence against female privilege existing. Also, I am appalled that some people here believe that women are out there to get and manipulate men. Is this a support site for mtf transsexuals who identify as female?
