Re: Privilege
(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 08:38 am (UTC)(link)The problem with your tallenss/shortness example is that a person with below-average height can still be taller than an even shorter person, but that doesn't make them a tall person. It makes them a short person who's taller than even shorter people. And a person of average height is neither tall nor short - they're average. I think that's what OP means by advantage and disadvantage. Being blind is a disadvantage, but having all 5 senses isn't an advantage, it's the standarn norm. Now, if someone possessed a 6th sense, that person would have an advantage, a privilege, over others.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)I think that kind of ties in with what Inkdust is saying below, about trying to reframe or displace that reference to the norm. That's part of why terms like 'cisgendered' are a thing- no one gets to occupy the position of 'unlabeled default human being' and everyone (hopefully) gets taken into consideration.
