(Anonymous) 2012-07-02 02:43 am (UTC)(link)I think the problem (and I want to point out here that this has only ever happened to me on the internet, and I've yet to hear such bullshit from people who call themselves feminist that I've actually talked to in person) is with the latter part. Does male privilege exist? Absolutely. All kinds of privilege do exist. But more often or not anytime I hear that word being used, it's used to exclude or wielded like a sword. I think saying everybody has a certain advantage is simply not true, the individual experience is simply too varied. I'm not going to start tossing out anecdotes or examples here, but just because an advantage exists for one group doesn't mean everybody in said group actually gets to use that advantage.
"You may not be able to comprehend this issue like somebody on the other end of it would because it's not your experience" is the sort of thing I've heard in real life. I can accept that.
"You have privilege, anything you say (including things that are not directly related to issues pertaining to that privilege such as pointing out how horrible I'm being to a third party) is invalid, you scum" is the tone I tend to find online. So I can see where somebody might be wary when they hear the term "feminist" especially in certain online circles.
