How common is rape in Uganda?

Clearly you grew up without most forms of privilege, but all things being equal, would the same situation you were born and raised in have been better or worse, had you been born female? What would those tribes and criminals have done with a young woman in your position?

If you've never had or feared a man sticking his penis inside you, not caring whether you want it or not, then there's at least one of your answers.

"Having privilege" does not equal "being privileged.". Its a tiny semantic discrepancy,
but it carries a huge difference in meaning. "Having privilege" does not mean your life is easy, you've never suffered, you're undeserving, or your problems don't matter--it means there's one specific thing you don't have to worry about that someone else does.

All the horrible, inexcusable tragedies you endured will never change the fact that you are less likely to be lied to about what kind of repairs your car needs and how much it will cost. That is an example of "male privilege." It's not your fault, and you don't have to feel guilty or apologize for it. You don't have to become a social justice warrior and crusade against it (unless you want to--that would be cool). The only thing we'd like for you to do is not deny that it exists.

I have "white privilege", which (among other things) means I'm very unlikely to be shot to death by police here in America--not all Americans are so lucky. I don't feel bad about having this privilege; I didn't ask for it. I feel awful about the ones who are getting shot, but I don't feel guilty or responsible--I'm not the one doing the shooting.

I'm not a bad person because I have this privilege. And I'm not not disadvantaged in other ways, either: I'm unemployed, I have no health insurance, no car. My life is not easy. I'm not "privileged" in the sense of white picket fences, trust funds, or BMWs--but that doesn't mean I don't "have privilege.". One has nothing to do with the other.

My being poor does not mean that I do not have the "privilege" of being taken seriously and not ignored or treated rudely because I'm white, clean-cut, and don't have an accent. My having suffered with debilitating chronic pain for over a decade has no effect on the "privilege" I get from being thin--which means people are more likely to see me as competent and less likely to see me as lazy or sloppy.

These things are specific, and relative. Almost anything can confer some degree of "privilege". It's also very context-dependent. The same thing might confer privilege in one context and disadvantage in another--femaleness, for example: privileging in child custody cases, disadtageous when working as a firefighter.

Having privilege doesn't mean you don't struggle. It means someone else has something to worry about that you dont.

Deny it all you want. Isn't going to change what is. Just makes you sound out of touch.

When 'mercans speak of male privilege, they are talking 'bout straight, white, christian males. That's all that counts. (IMHO)

I will make it easier for you:

Since privileged can't be measured it doesnt exist.
