See though, that's making the assumption this one thing is still the overall level indicator. The "difficulty level" for life. The writer takes this one aspect and places it with primary importance. I disagree. I wouldn't say it's value can't be discounted, but I hardly think it's an easy mode for life. Especially since, of all things, this takes on a very western centric viewpoint and there are large swarths of the world where this doesn't apply at all.

Geographic location. Intelligence. Physical Attractiveness. Social Skills. Physical Health. Mental Stability. I'd put all of these up there as well. They aren't secondary stats. They are damn important. I can promise you nobody with a deficit in any two of those (any one really but definitely any two) is going to have "easy" life, even if he is a white male.

This article is an over simplification and it leads to oversimplified thinking.

"Geographic location. Intelligence. Physical Attractiveness. Social Skills. Physical Health. Mental Stability."--And these are also areas in which someone can be privileged, in the sense of "unearned advantage." Although physical attractiveness can be earned or forced by some people--losing weight, or plastic surgery, or whatever. Only stupid people think that being privileged in any one area means that someone's life will be sunshine and rainbows. Whatever privilege any one person has might not seem to make their life better, but if they didn't have it their life would probably look a little bleaker. But no-one sort of privilege is an all-access pass to the "Good Life." When people talk about privilege, it's a kind of shorthand, and when they don't go on to consider how these advantages (or lack of them) interact, people end up metaphorically using the word privilege as a sort of online bludgeon. ... Holy fuck. Privilege doesn't look like a word anymore.
