While it's not technically #ff (Follow Friday) anymore or whatever, yesterday a helpful tipper clued us into the existence of @maleprivelege, billed in the profile bar as "the big, dumb, invisible monolith."

The Huffington Post reports that the Twitter feed was created by a 32-year-old Canadian man named Geordie Tait, inspired by his wife's interactions and observations about the gaming community. Tait also got a ton of play last September for a piece about sexism in gaming called To My Someday Daughter.
