Re: Privilege
(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)YOU have a disadvantage because of your mental illness and a disadvantage because people are assholes and treat you badly for it. That does NOT mean that people without a mental illness get any advantage. Because there are not enough people with mental illnesses to actually make a difference.
I only brought up my bad eyes to make it clear that I think the same thing when I'm the one with the disadvantage - just because I can't see well, doesn't mean anyone else has an advantage. Whether or not I can see doesn't actually help anyone else. Thus, nobody has any "privilege" from that. The only case I have seen where privilege actually applies is male vs female, because *drumroll* half the population is female. A very stupid, untalented, lazy and all around not-awesome man? Can easily become supervisor if everyone else in that jobfield is female, simply because he is male. Therefore, privilege.
An able-bodied person who is stupid, untalented, lazy and all around not awesome? Would have a very hard time to find a jobfield where everyone else was disabled. You don't GET any handouts from society just for being able-bodied. Thus, not a privilege. (You DO get a lot of shit for NOT being able-bodied. Thus, a disadvantage).
I am literally only arguing the word here.
