I accept privilege exists. Here in the West where straight white male is the default position any one who belongs to that demographic is automatically privileged regardless of any
thing else. But it becomes complicated because there are multiple axes of privilege that one may be on which may not be consistent with each other. For example a white woman
will be privileged because she is white but non privileged because she is a woman. And so privilege is multifaceted. Now it can be dismissed as a means of denying free speech to
those who are already privileged [ straight men ] by those less privileged [ white feminists ] but it is an actual phenomenon so should therefore be acknowledged and understood
