This is what some people don’t get. Being privileged isn’t inherently bad. It’s not a choice you made, it’s the circumstances of your birth, upbringing, and culture. The problems start when you deny your privilege and how it has effected your life, when you argue that your privilege is actually proof that you’re better, when you think you should be given more privilege as a result, when you expect others to compete against what is a given for you, etc.
You know what isn’t a problem with privilege? Using that privilege to project the voices of the un-privileged. Speaking truth to power. Using your famous name to boost a worthy cause. Putting your self in harms way so that the same abuse that would have happened to someone else without media focus can’t be ignored. Standing up against villains, setting an example, and calling those in authority to action.
Anyone trying to reduce what this girl has done to rich white girl privilege needs to go brush your teeth. Your breath smells like bullshit.

Damn right. And why more cis white men need to show up at Pride. And Women’s Marches. And BLM. A real man isn’t one who punches down, it’s one who extends an open hand.

A bit off topic, but I get annoyed when I see statements like this because it always comes from the same type of people who whine about the patriarchy and get mad when someone talks about being a “proper” woman.
You can’t be against sexism when you yourself are sexist. Masculinity isn’t defined by your subjective beliefs. Stop trying to shame men for who they are because of your misguided personal standard. There’s no such thing as a “real” man because all men are real.
Self-proclained “real men” define themselves by their masculinity. I’m merely trying to change their definition of masculinity, because I think that’s easier than changing them directly.
You’re no different than the alpha male grifters as you harbor the same flawed mentality. Masculinity is not a set of expectations, it’s literally just the behavior of men. Any behavior exhibited by any man is masculine by definition. This idea of a “real” man is manipulative bullshit to try to shame men for having emotions and individuality.
