Social class and overall level of "privilege" really is a lot more complicated in real life than either side (Tumblr SJWs vs the anti-SJWs) make it out to be. A lot depends on the situation and context. But that's not as easy as making some sweeping statements based on what you read on some blog somewhere.


The Voice of Reason! I have never heard someone speak sensibly on privilege before today. Quite the landmark. January 12, 2015!

Gender: CIS (+20)
Country: United States (+20)
Religion: Hindu (-20)
Wealth: Huh My dad makes $300k a year, so I'm going to guess (+20)??
Attractiveness: I've been told by a lot women that I have a very attractive face, I'm not muscular though so (+10)
Disability: Able-bodied (+25)
Profession: None (0)
Height: Tall (+10)

Total Score: +145

Being a Christian makes you privileged in the US but it's a negative in many countries in the world (mildly so in Sweden, severely so in most of the Middle East).

This chart is probably a more accurate gauge:


Being a 9+/10 woman is less privileged than being a short, disfigured, man?

Eh, the short disfigured man probably has to put up with less unwanted attention.

As explained by some guy speaking at church once about checking privilege, where he touched on the five ways in that which he personally has lots of power and privilege:

1-He's White
2-He's Male
3-He's Straight
4-He's American
5-He's Christian (though he prefaced this by saying that many would dispute that)

Like him I also score a 5, so yes, I'm aware of my privilege.

4/5
