    No, it’s really not a privilege, especially 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??

          Wtf are you on about? What does assumption free questions about services have to do with anything?

          It’s confusing as hell because your comment is non sequitur

            It’s not a non-seuqitur if you actually understood how “white privilege” worked in the real world. Assumption free means people not judging you based on stereotypes. It means everyone gets a basic level of respect all human beings deserve, until they themselves specifically do something to prove otherwise.

              You are clearly missing a vital part of what male privilege or white privilege is. That’s ok but a bit surprising given how long it has been discussed and problematized both IRL and online.
