I can't take the word "privilege" seriously anymore. I'm generally liberal myself, but the extremists have coopted the word to mean "all white and/or male people everywhere" and I just cannot get behind that. A hacker girl can't get married or visit her husband in the hospital due to lack of legal standing. That's why every female has it worse than men, you can clearly see this as gay men can get married and trans men never experience discrimination. Don't forget, all black people everywhere have it awful and all white people have it great. Those gay kids getting bullied to death need to check their privilege, geez. (You may also enjoy this, which pokes fun at the recent phenomenon: http://fuckyeahsocialjusticesally.tumblr.com/ http://fuckyeahsocialjusticesally.tumblr.com/ ) The privilege metaphor is great for people who can only think in terms of black and white, good or evil, privilege or nonprivileged. In truth, reality is greyscale.
