Class Privilege Is Used to Shut Down the Conversation

"It just seems if you say anything off of the typical social justice culture script, someone will go looking for your privilege as a way to silence you," she says. "I hate seeing this conversation that infantilizes us and wants to make us like a homogenous."

I'll start with, I'll start with where it's used to shut down the conversation because I feel like I'm most experienced with that. It just seems, how do I even phrase this? Let me think for a sec. It just seems if you say anything off of the typical social justice culture script, someone will go looking for your privilege as a way to silence you. Yeah. So you can throw out your different identity markers as a way to be like, hey, listen to me, please, I want to speak on this too. And then someone will say, it's because of this, it's because of this. And the amount of intersectionalities, if you will, that can be like added or subtracted are indefinite, indefinite. Like I said, we now have featureism. What the F, you know, is there a tractivism too? Because we know that people who are attractive get many privileges in society, right? Yeah, we call that pretty privilege, right? Yeah, pretty privilege. So it's, I don't know, it's just, I just see it as, I think that like class privilege is much more significant than we talk about. I think that when you are not living in the inner city where people are truly impoverished and there's so much murder and the kids are illiterate, I think that when you are separated from that, it's easy to not really know what's happening of any race. But as far as what's amplified at the top of the tree, which is usually race, although now it seems to be gender, but it just seems a little bit ridiculous. Like my friends, I have, I love mom in Southern California, most of my friends are women of color of diverse origins. And we all have class and education privilege. None of us are marginalized. And I just hate seeing this conversation that infantilizes us and wants to make us like a homogenous, like in my own professional community when we were talking a lot about hot topic vaccines, which I know you didn't want to go there in this conversation. Okay.
Speaker 1
Yeah. So many of my

friends are highly educated women.
