The United States Navy has started warning service members about the dangers of male privilege.

The Navy's Bureau of Medicine & Surgery has created two charts detailing the ways that people can use tactics such as emotional abuse, intimidation and isolation to exert control over others.

The 'Power and Control' wheel and the 'Equality Wheel' were posted on the Navy's website.

The Navy's new 'Power and Control' wheel 'gives examples of an abusive relationship' and lists male privilege

The 'Equity Wheel' gives examples of a healthy relationship. Both charts were posted on the Navy's website

According to the Navy, 'The power and control wheel gives examples of an abusive relationship while the equality wheel gives examples of a healthy relationship.'

The power wheel gives examples of male privilege and also lists phrases that victims might use.

The examples on the wheel are: 'Treating her list a servant'; 'Making all the big decisions'; 'Acting like the 'master of the castle''; and 'Being the one to define men's and women's roles.'

Phrases that victims of male privilege commonly include 'he refuses to pick up milk on his way home because it's 'women's work.''

Another example is: 'When he came home yesterday, he was driving a brand new truck.

'I told him we needed something the whole family could fit in, but he didn't listen to me.'
