This page is a work in progress. The idea is that I want to turn my anger into action, and one of the joys of having a website is that it’s available all the time, everywhere.
Here’s a quote I absolutely love:
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
It explains all the backlash against social justice movements (and it makes total sense). It helps me extend compassion and understanding to people to have privileges that I don’t have (and help me embrace not getting something that I previously took for granted).
I love Sam Killerman’s articles about privilege, which all start with “It’s not about shame. It’s about understanding”.
Here’s “a letter to all the white, straight, cisgender, man people out there — people like myself — who are struggling with the idea of being told to “check your privilege”: Dear White, Straight, Cisgender, Man People: You Are Privileged
I would love if all the men in my life read (and thoughtfully processed) these examples of male privilege as a start.
Cisgender privileges that I hold.
Middle-to-Upper Class Privileges that I hold.
This section focuses on women and men for now, but I want to make it include the experiences of non-binary people too.
