I'm a young, white male, aka privileged person. I've read quite a lot about feminism (and anti-racism for that matter), and struggled to get a clear picture of when my actions are appreciated. I think the most important lesson I've learned is that I must listen; because I do not have any first hand experience.


I'm a young, white man too. Care to tell me how this makes me a privileged person?



I think he/she may be referring to this sentence in the original article (on netmagazine.com): "In today's Western society, being male, white and straight gives you three huge privileges over everyone else"
