      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.

      2/If you assume a woman is socially-oriented despite evidence that she's system-oriented, you're letting general information supersede individual information. It's important to use information at the level the information was collected, and not change levels (general to specific)

      3/This is one issue I have with discourse around privilege. Privilege is information about the general level - e.g. white people *tend* to have more money, more opportunities, than black people in the US. This is true. But I very often see people eagerly insist upon using-

      4/general information when individual information should be superceding; for example a poor white person addicted to opiates in an old forgotten mining town is as much privileged due to his race as an analytical woman is a social butterfly because of her sex.

      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.

      The issue I have with the "white privilege" concept is that it is race specific when it doesn't need to be. You can talk about the exact same issues by saying "majority privilege".

      I... think I disagree? I would agree that we can talk about different types of majority privilege, but having a phrase that refers specifically to white privilege seems also useful. Do you have an example of non-white-specific-but-rather-majority-based-privilege?

          Pretry much every example I have heard about what white privilege is is an example of that. Things like being represented in positions of power, or media or art, experience less racism, etc.

          These are consequences of being a minority, are they not? White people in China or any other country where they are a minority don't have these advantages.

          If you’re willing to look outside the US and other white majority countries you’ll find examples of ‘majority privilege’ that isn't ‘white’.

          Oh yeah then I think I agree? In our current western world, the majority privilege strongly correlates with white privilege. I do agree that correlation does not equal causation, and that you'd see mostly the same issues with any group in power regardless of race.

          Think of China, or South-Africa, or North Korea. Being white in these countries not only does not confer an advantage to the white person, but a relative disadvantage compared to the majority. It is an error to think that US/Western-centric ideas are universal.
