"Check Your Privilege"

Saying privilege is an unearned advantage because you're born into a dominant group is like saying your children didn't earn their food, clothing and shelter because they were born into your dominant house.

Humans have been grouping together since the beginning of time. Just because one group advanced itself faster than others doesn't mean it should be penalized for it.

"privilege" is the concept that there exists a grave social ill that one is inherently guilty of participating in by default given the circumstances of one's birth. The only way to atone for this is to accept and help spread the ideology that identifies one as guilty.

I liked it better when the Vatican invented it and called it "original sin"

I don't get the Christian thing. Seems like a dumb tactic to make people discard their faith. Want to be less privileged and be able to hold more against people? Drop Christianity.

I don't know about other Christians but I certainly feel oppressed as a Christian, not privileged.

Everyone has some sort of “privilege” the very fact they have access to a printer is a privilege that not everyone in the world shares. Why do we need to measure each other’s privilege though? It’s barbaric.

Also. there are many males who aren’t privileged because they’ve been born in a 3rd world country. That would mean a female in a first world experiences more privileges than a 3rd world male.

To think a woman also doesn’t have any privilege is fucking retarded. If I could get off with a lower sentence on the same crime because I’m a woman, I’ve just exercised some privilege.

They can fuck off.
