Was life easier for a white male coal miner or for an upper middle class woman?
What was the life expectancy of men vs women in the 40s?
Throughout History the only thing that makes life easier or harder is which social class one belongs to. Not sexuality or sex or anything else.
- malcolmgreaves 3y agoThe root of your misunderstanding is thinking that things being worse for non-white folks implies things had to be great for all white folk. Privilege in society is not a binary. > Throughout History the only thing that makes life easier or harder is which social class one belongs to. Racism, sexism, and classism intersect. Saying that only one of these 3 social phenomena exist is false. If you're intellectually curious and want to learn more about the world, I encourage you to read up on intersectionality. You can find lots of wonderful resources on this topic, starting with the original work by Kimberlé Crenshaw.
