<<<<<<this is not an exhaustive list.
All privileges were not created equal – some privileges offset the lack of others; a lack of one privilege can make the lack of another even harder. However, this is definitely not about scoring the most/least points. This is not meant to be an exercise in guilt (or pity).
Just because most people benefit from some degree of privilege that isn’t a reason to do nothing about it. Someone else’s privilege does not “excuse” your own.
This is an attempt to understand what scores points on the privilege ladder and what doesn’t.
It’s a starting point for thinking about which parts of the privilege ladder we prop up… and which parts we need to take responsibility for taking down…
