Re: Privilege

The thing is? Not everyone *does* have two working legs, so the fact that most buildings are only designed for those with those two legs? Creates a *really* big disadvantage.

Part of the thing with privilege in the terms of social justice is that the people talking about/on the side of SJ? They *are* arguing that the privilege should be for everyone. That's pretty much what they're going for. The reason there's even a fight over it is because it isn't something everyone has.

For example, people shouldn't be judged based on say...their skin tone or sexual orientation. But more often than not they are, and those judgement have a negative impact on their life. People who are white and straight don't have to deal with that - so they're *privileged* to not have to deal with it.

I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm only saying I found the word "privilege" very confusing because it doesn't mean what it usually means and I wish someone had explained it at some point.

The best way I can think of to put it, or at least the simplest, is that it's called privilege because society is designed for people who match specific attributes. Thus the 'privilege' is that society has basically been designed for you, and leaves people who don't match those attributes at a disadvantage when there doesn't need to be one.

Also, I'd recommend looking at the anon below's comment since...they're probably a little less confusing. ^^;;
