Re: Privilege

[inkdust]

I learned about that particular definition of privilege in college, where they did actually explain it well, and I agree that the definition doesn't always seem to match up with the term as it's generally understood. But one aspect I find helpful to keeping things straight mentally is that privilege among a majority group (white, male, straight, etc) usually also includes the privilege of not being aware of it, of being able to take their advantage for granted. Because it's sort of a negative advantage, in the sense of advantage-by-not-having-a-disadvantage, so on the one hand there's the privilege there in actual treatment by society, and on the other there's the privilege of not noticing that treatment - of perceiving their non-disadvantage as a given.

If that makes any sense?

Re: Privilege

Yes, that does make sense. And I did figure that out eventually - after 5 years. I still think it's a weird choice to use the word privilege that way. AND I think people should explain it occasionally, because it's really confusing and makes most social justice discussions hard to follow. (and it's nearly impossible to ask without getting accused of being bigotted or otherwise yelled at)

Agreed 100%

Re: Privilege

Even here, people kept implying that I must be evil.

One other things is that I find the word privilege for something that should be a matter of course a bit... creepy. Kind of like when people use "currently able-bodied" instead of simply able bodied - it has a vaguely menacing air, as if people want to take this "privilege" away. Which is really fucking scary when the "privilege" is having a healthy body. I know most people don't actually mean it that way, but that's one of the implications of privilege.
