Re: Privilege

You do have a point, I think, especially when we're talking specifically about the word "privilege", which differs from "advantage".

With "advantage" it's slightly different - you can have "advantage over someone", and then "advantage" is not necessarily a "privilege".

But yes, I understand the confusion in this case. Though it isn't incorrect to use "privilege", it is employed to emphasize the existence and hapless state of those deprived of it.

Whether it's advantage or disadvantage depends on the numbers though, I think. If almost everyone has ice cream, not having ice cream is a disadvantage. If almost no one has ice cream, having ice cream is an advantage and a privilege.

You can have an advantage over one person, one to one, but generally having an advantage (or disadvantage) only actually matters in context with the majority.
