  Stop arguing semantics and accept their argument of semantics!

  FFS the cognitive dissonance is dizzying.

  Semantics are important and I do understand what they are saying. Did you read my comment?

  it implies those people have something they shouldn’t have

  This for example. Male privilege is something men shouldn’t have since it’s based entirely on gender. So the privilege teeds to be abolished for equality to happen.

  And as I said, of course men gets defensive when its problematized and put in the spotlight, you may support equality but who wants to lose their advantages? 🤷

  Ironically enough your comment also focused on the semantics instead of the issue at hand.. :)

    No, it’s really not a privilege, espwcially for any non-rich, not cleaned up white man. It’s what should be the minimum respect people are given for being conscious beings.

      I’m not sure what you’re talking about?

      What is not a privilege and how does it relate to a minimum level of respect?

        Basic respect and zero assumptions about intent are a solid start. Those ARE NOT privileges, but what any honest person engaging with someone or something should expect… Someone should be able to ask a basic question about a service you are providing with zero assumptions made as to what you expect as a result or a cost, as a basic example.

        Seriously, how is this confusing??
