Also if you're going to start adding the word privilege to adjectives there's a long long list of them.
Female, male, tall, short, attractive, clever, rich.
Lol... What? Name one way in which short people are privileged? One.
Sure - tall, attractive, intelligent and rich people ARE privileged and do receive special treatment in our society, even if they themselves did nothing to gain them, because those attributes appeal to our base instincts. It sucks and if - for example - bosses are caught discriminating against sexually unattractive employees (when the job itself doesn't require good looks) - they should be held accountable. What of it?
