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.
