Re: Return to Gender 101
I edited my previous post to say that privilege is a societal phenomena, rather than a social construct. Societal phenomena is the more precise term, I think, because it includes things like accessibility (I can park anywhere and fit in dressing rooms) and economic situations (I can afford gas and a t-shirt and have a home) as well as the more social constructs (I am not viewed with suspicion, I am able to be understood).
