is it really that difficult to understand that you can be privileged in one way and disadvantaged in another?
like, really?
your brain can't wrap around that?
if we're talking gay issues then yes, you as a (presumably) straight person have an advantage over a gay man. if we're talking sexism, of course he's got it easier, and etc.
you sound like the people who claim racism doesn't exist because a black rich man is living in the white house.
let's compare apples with apples here-- if you were not straight, your life as a white cis woman without a job would be harder, if you were not cis, your life as a white woman without a job would be harder, if you were not white nor asian, your life as a cis woman would be harder. THAT is privilege. it doesn't mean having one aspect of your life better than other people means you aren't oppressed in other ways. don't be obtuse and ridiculous.
