No, but recognizing the fact that it is advantageous in Western society wouldn’t kill you.

Believe me when I tell you that it has done me no favors, and I am tired of that narrative. If it were true, I might have more money, less debt, more sex, better prospects etc...hence this conversation @bijouxbroussard

@Slappppaho That’s not what is meant by “privilege”, and many don’t understand that. It’s more the assumptions that are not made about you, the day to day stuff. I could give you a few basic examples, but I already know that you wouldn’t hear me, so I’m not going to waste your time or mine. 🤷🏽♀️

That is true@bijouxbroussard

@Slappppaho Your choice of username would indicate you’re a “straight” male who’s not that fond of women, either.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
I LOVE hos!@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho Then why would you slap ‘em ?!
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
I have never slapped a woman, but I like to have a sense of humor about things too@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho You think hitting women is funny ! Oh, okay...incidentally, that’s an example of the differences.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
I think there is humor in the username that I chose and you would understand that if you weren’t trying too hard to virtue signal here@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho No...your position of privilege allows you to be amused by something that could never affect you.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
I have 0 privilege. Believe me, I sure wish I did. You just aren’t correct here@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho Sure, you do. You take it for granted. You can choose a handle that jokes about hitting women...call folks “sugartits”, etc.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
That is privilege? You can do the same thing
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho No, because I know better.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
Yes you could, you just don’t have a sense of humor@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho I don’t find oppression funny. You’re right about that.
Guess why you do ? Privilege. It’s just a part of who you choose to be, and actually why the subject annoys you. You don’t want to consider any other perspective. 😒

You are really stretching here to find an example of how I am actually privileged. So now a sense of humor is something that only straight white males are allowed to have? You should rest your tired little brain dear
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho No, a cruel sense of humor is not unique to any race or gender. But it explains why you have a problem with the topic. You want be able to express your prejudices without anyone calling you out over them. You define that as happening because you’re a white male.
Slappppaho · 41-45, M
Looks like we have made some real progress here!you are still a batty liberal and I’m still a straight white guy with the unique privilege to express my prejudices lol@bijouxbroussard
bijouxbroussard · F
@Slappppaho And at no point did I ask you to apologize for being a straight white male. I know plenty, among my family and friends—who are also liberals.

@Slappppaho you're of course allowed to be a bigot, that doesn't shield you from consequences. People have every right to call you out or refuse to associate with you
