Pointing out privileges that a group experiences does not mean putting the blame on that group. The purpose of this kind of list is to bring awareness of privilege, not to place blame. How can a person work to eliminate XYZ-ism if they are not aware of how it happens?
Most the points on the list have a subtlety, I think, and are non-obvious. They all require imagining yourself in the marginalized minority's shoes. They aren't the glaringly obvious examples of sexism that (really infrequently) happen, like Aimonetti's slides. That's where the real work can be done, because eliminating obvious sexism is the easy part.
