Brockey What Privilege is Not by R Brockey Of all the topics I post about, privilege seems to produce the most vitriol in the comments. Be it white privilege, male privilege, hetero privilege, cis privilege, mono privilege, able privilege, or some combination of these and other forms of privilege, people seem to push back, almost out of instinct, against their existence. These comments all have at least one commonality: confusion between what privilege is and is not. There have been many wonderful pieces written explaining exactly what privilege is. And the comments in those articles are still filled with confusion-based push back. So, I want to provide a list of some of the things that privilege is NOT so that I can just link to this post in those discussions. Feel free to do the same.
