True. But Dicussing Privilege usually doesn't help many people without it.

You know those people in college classrooms discussing privilege? Being able to attend college generally means they're somehow privileged.

The question is: do the people you talk to "irl" actually think more about their actions and mindsets just because someone said the magic P word?

"Hi. I'm a bisexual woman and thus don't have straight white male privilege. Please ignore the fact that my parents are upper middle class and respect my orientation, I've got an internship that might very well lead to a job when I graduate, that I am perfectly healthy and reasonably attractive my current social standards. I am outside this one group and thus oppressed." It's So. Fucking. Intellectually lazy.

I'm a diehard feminist half-minority academic and even I think this shit is getting annoying. Nothing personal, Anon. You're probably fine.

i'm definitely not arguing that people who have access to the internet/college education/etc aren't privileged in that area. it's very true.

i'm also not arguing that being marginalised in one area =/= I AM EXTREMELY OPPRESSED DOWN WITH THE OPPRESSORS. that's more of the SJW bullshit right there. people (especially SJW) tend to ignore that being marginalised/privileged in one area only applies to that one area. there is not only "privileged people" vs "non-privileged people". it's possible to not have white privilege while still having straight privilege. however, they like to think that they are SUPER SUPER OPPRESSED just because they're outside one single group. that's what leads to misunderstandings.

and it's not really the word "privilege" that magically opens people's minds in real life. it's more the concept of it. there's many people, especially in a non-racially-conscious area like mine, who have never even considered the fact that being white can avoid them a lot of judgement, racial profiling, lower wages and even unfair incarceration, while these things occur regularly to POC.

...sorry, that ended up as super tl;dr.

Agree with this entire comment. I think Anon was coming off more harshly than they meant to, though. I really don't get the vibe that they're one of those self-righteous, Tumblr-bred SJWs.
