> Like "black privilege" and "female privilege" exist too -- it's just a language for describing how the different facets of ourselves change how we're treated. In my experience, a lot of people who use the word “privilege” will get very very very upset at that claim. To them, “privilege” is fundamentally connected to groups. It wouldn’t make sense for both male privilege and female privilege to exist; the whole point is that males are collectively privileged relative to females. I think what you’re describing is a better fit for reality.
