1/Men tend to be more systems-oriented, women more social-oriented. This is very general, and useful for understanding large populations. While it's fine to make general assumptions about people early on, the issue is when general information supersedes individual information.

5/The lens of privilege is not a bad lens, it's simply not a very good one for understanding the life of the poor white opiate addict. The lens is a concept designed for large-scale, and using it for individual analysis just warps things and angers everybody.

I seem to recall that in Thinking Fast & Slow, Kahneman shows evidence that humans are generally pretty fast to update from stereotype -> specific example when presented with specific example data.

I don't think that's what "privileged" means though. If I'm less likely to be stopped by police then I have that simple privilege regardless of whatever else is going on in my life. Being rich or poor or a drug addict doesn't change that I can obtain some benefit from my race.

Privilege: a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group. That race or gender have some (dis)advantages in certain situations doesn't imply all members of a race are universally better or worse off than members of another.
