You don’t fucking know me bro. I’m not privileged in the least, the most I’ve borrowed from my parents is $20 and I worked for minimum wage all throughout my 20s.

systemic privilege of this kind is the invisible little leg ups that folks don’t realize are in fact giving them leg ups at all, leaving them wondering out loud why others just don’t share their gumption!
Examples of privilege include but are not limited to being cisgender, being white, being literate, being financially literate, having a body shape that is whole and conforms to societal standards, having a mind that is undamagrd and conforms to societal standards, being male, having family with the willingness and ability to house and feed you temporarily if you need it, having a family that sports you emotionally, having access to clean food and air, having access to information.
Social structures normalize the idea that those with these unearned advantages represent the baseline, leading to a general lack of awareness in the public like we see in this thread.

Seriously. We don’t even know how old the poster is, just that their dad is 48.
I was 20 when my dad was 48. I was in college and was only ‘home’ over the summers and winter break (when the dorms closed). My brother was 15. I don’t think it’d be reasonable to tell either of us to move out just because the adults in our lives were a tad indiscrete.

That sounds funny, because I actually have a free house and a stable personality from a well funded education system, but I said the exact opposite. I know my privilege. Life’s tough and you gotta take all the advantage you can get. If you get a chance to get ahead, you’re stupid not to take it, but you’re even more stupid if you brag about it.
