Feel free to suggest others. These are all based on my (
badlifechoice's) privileges, but I'm happy to make others if they'll be helpful.
(One of the reasons I decided to make it separate from my personal plurk)
yes I am also all of those
white middle class able-bodied? part of me is like "yay I have privilege" which doesn't feel like the right response but when people want to kill you you feel happy for what you've got.
I will figure out how exactly to structure all this (regularly scheduled check-in discussion plurks?) at some point tomorrow. thoughts/suggestions welcome!
btw I'd like to be in the able-bodied one as well even though I have Sick and all. Because there are types of able privilege I do have (mobility, sight, hearing, etc.)
If it's okay with you, it's okay with me!
not sure if it fits and definitely not me but is Christian a thing? because as a Jewish lady who sat through songs about Christmas and jesus in high school and only got Christian Holliday's off....
It could be! But not hugely applicable to this group. I think I might be the closest thing to a Christian in the group, and I'm agnostic
;;;
...culturally christian? I mean whenever I talk to actual christians I understand how woefully limited my knowledge is, but I do the celebrating christmas thing etc etc and know even less about judaism...
For our purposes we could put religion and ethnicity in with whiteness? Because lbr that's what most bigots these days mean, that you're nonwhite or not white enough (too Jewish).
yeah. I'm very jew-ish, but I think a lot of people just take for granted that they get their family Holliday off where a lot of people. don't.
there is a reason places shut down Sunday.
Culturally Christian is definitely a thing.
Atheists and agnostics like me benefit from it a lot. See: protests being organized on Saturdays.
(and the experience of an atheist who was raised Christian vs one who was raised Jewish or Muslim etc is very different.)
In a lot of ways America is a Culturally Christian nation, not a Christian one.
Anyway I go in all of the ones mentioned. I guess we'd have difficulty doing a Male Privilege clique?
Other privileges I know I benefit from personally? Thin privilege.
Culturally Christian now has a clique!
woot, then into it goes I
*like if i'm gonna be silly i might as well crank it up
also made a thin privilege one, should anyone else want in on that
I do not FEEL skinny, but I look Skinny, so....
