OH, you're the google memo guy. Oh, ok then. Your analysis of privilege wildly misunderstands how the concept is theorized and applied.

But of course it does. Have you heard of "motivated reasoning"? We rarely think of privilege in terms of total or aggregate privilege.

if, perhaps, you are a straight white upper middle class able-bodied cisman, yes you might be supposed to have more aggregate privilege...

relative to a poor queer trans woman of color living with disabilities. Which like... duh?

in that case, your curves are so far apart that reducing then to lines is a common sense expedient.

what is far more common is not discussion of aggregate privilege but discussion of privilege on a particular axis, after someone...

has specifically done something that corresponds to recognized patterns of privilege, e.g., man regularly interrupts women in meetings.
