  I think there is nuance here. My understanding is that there is a very small but loud percentage of women that want to exclude men. When DEI (inclusion of less represented individuals) is encouraged, it’s often cut down by “only the most qualified should be hired”, detracting from the core topic which is bias. Most of the discourse around privelage was to help understand that men aren’t actively oppressive, but many are blind to the ways in which they contribute to the oppressive issues due to cultural programming. In parallel to what we’re seeing with protests - inaction is not helpful. Those that are privelaged are more likely to be able to change the minds of those that are actively oppressive. TL;DR privelage is just the ability to apply peer pressure.

  Do you mind clarifying what you mean is a problem? Are you saying kids with mild symptoms aren’t getting access? Or there are far too many kids accessing the special needs services than can be accommodated?

  This is not a healthy friendship. This person does not have your best interests at heart. Distance yourself. Stop hanging out, stop messaging. Give excuses if you’re not comfortable telling them that you won’t tolerate their treatment of you anymore. Do not let them guilt you into staying in each other’s lives. They might see you push them away and try everything they can to pull you back in. Don’t give in. Real friends like to see you happy and want to build your confidence up. Go to events where people have similar interests to you and you will make better friends. Good luck!
