Privilege = fucking up.

No exceptions.

I notice white feminists get criticised a lot, which makes sense, we do fuck up a lot. However, what kind of irritates me is the persistent failure of the people criticising other groups to examine the same fucking shitty behaviour on the part of themselves and their own group in areas where they are privileged.
In short, some people are often too busy pointing fingers to make sure they're not part of the problem as well for others.

If you have privilege? At some point, you have been that fucking person and part of the problem.

If you have privilege, then at some point you have erased other groups, harmed them, contributed to stigma against them.

No exceptions.

When dealing with a social justice advocate who has a mix of privilege and oppression, often I get the impression that many are so busy focusing on just the oppressions that harm them, that they basically forget to check their own privileges or to critically examine their own behaviour towards groups they're privileged over.

It's like people think "I'm oppressed, so I cannot oppress". Bullshit, you completely can.

If you have one or more privileges? You can oppress people.

No exceptions.

Working to not oppress others, to not be that person, to not be part of the problem? Is an active role. You need to work at it.

Also note, the fact that other people suck? Not a get out of shitty stuff you did card!

In short, damn well do criticise people that do this but also check you aren't doing it and tackle it if you are!
