No.

I was exaggerating for effect. But in practice the overwhelming privilege by orders of magnitude is wealth and class, with everything else paling in comparison to that.

[(Anonymous)]

There are definitely situations where being filthy rich can't protect you if you're gay/female/jewish/black/etc. "It doesn't matter if you're rich, you're still going to be killed/be denied basic rights" type situations. But overall I actually think you're right. I don't think any ONE thing has, on average, a greater effect on ones empowerment than their wealth, and their perceived ability to generate more wealth.

I mean I disagree completely, but wealth is so much tied to race in the US, that I understand why some of y'all believe this for that axis.

You can disagree all you want. By every single measurable metric it's better to be a rich gay black woman then it is to be a poor white herto man.

Throw in a cheeky asterisk there there for being transgender which changes things a bit, I'll grant you that.

[meadowphoenix]

"every single measurable metric" what are those, bb? medical statistical accuracy? dating preferences? testing disparities? deaths in the tulsa massacre? lynchings? likelihood to die in intimate partner violence? importance to political pundits?


it's certainly easier to see social stratification by an measurable understanding like wealth or resources, but that's not the whole of society's stratification, nor the whole of people's identities. and so social disparities cannot be reduced to wealth, when more resources is not the only way people find benefit in society.
