Privilegesplaining

Morons of the world, please pay attention to what I’m about to write:

When I tell you that you’re privileged, it doesn’t mean you are not smart, talented, accomplished or hardworking. What it  means is, for instance, that if you try to work in a certain field, you’ll be judged for what is coming out of your mouth not what’s between your legs.  (It also might mean that you started with better access to things that helped you to become smart, talented and accomplished, but I do not begrudge you that; I just want everyone to have similar access.)

Please jot this down and re-read it the next time you knee-jerkingly and douchily deny you are privileged. Thanks.

Thanks to commenters for reminding me of these links…some more thoughts on privilege:
