(22,336 posts)I think being gay is probably lower on the privilege scale than being a woman - or would be more of a hit or whatever. Also, I think they underplay how difficult being intersexed would be.
I think whoever made it was making a joke more than being serious, and the specifics are off, particularly in the Jewish number. Crazy.
I'm glad to see an illustration of the concept even if the specific numbers are stupid. Just because someone has male privilege doesn't mean they have other privileges - which is I think why some men here have disagreed with the idea of privilege overall. They recognize they lack other privileges and don't understand how the word "privileged" could be used for them. And I agree that while I don't have male privilege, I am generally pretty privileged, which is also explained here.
