It’s one thing to say it’s difficult to parent. It’s very hard to be a parent. It is another entirely to say that non-parents are “privileged”. Using privileged is a total and inaccurate misappropriation of identity politics discourse to weaponize the unpaid work of parenting.

For me privilege is a positive or a neutral word for analysis of hierarchies.
