    Bingo!

    I’ve never felt so privileged, and thanks to that chart, I won! You’ll have to excuse me now, I’m late for dinner on Elon’s yacht. We’re going to discuss how completely trouble free it is to be a “cishet” white male, and how little effort we had to put into it (over caviar and champagne). It’s good to be #1.

    Preposterous.

    Can’t believe this gross display of the erasure of nonbinary, agender, asexual, and aromantic people.

    (Seriously, though, it’s fascinating to be lectured on social justice by someone who apparently thinks there are only two races.)

    It might not be a satire account, but if it isn’t, it’s been Poed. Look at item 29 : Trans lesbian white man.

    Bruce, I noticed that, but don’t think it’s Poe. unfortunately, that seems to be a real thing for these folks.

    I take it from the fact that there’s only black and white on that list that trans activists don’t consider people from the planet’s largest continent as worthy of inclusion.

    So… no other measurable axis counts I guess. The complete ignorance of the “economic” part of “socioeconomic status” doesn’t bug anyone else? And I guess “physically attractive” (including things like age, body type/shape, hair colour, etc…) doesn’t matter any more either, despite evidence to the contrary.

    Sigh. Used to be that we’d make fun of people apparently playing “oppression olympics”, guess that’s not longer an insult.

    Interesting. I’m gonna inject some pesky material reality into the discussion though.

    According to this chart, I’m #2, pretty privileged. But #32, the “least privileged”, can show me his dick in a swimming pool change room, even if I’ve given no consent to see it. Further, the law in many jurisdictions supports him, and not me, if the dick displaying is an issue that comes before the courts. However, the law theoretically restricts #1, who outranks me, privilege-wise, from showing me his dick in the same change room, but it’s unclear how the law can tell if he’s a #1, or a #29.

    Bi category shouldn’t even be on there; the “privilege” is entirely context dependent (all privilege is) after all…

    Oh, didn’t you get the memo, Acolyte? They’re white-adjacent.

    It’s time for Asian Americans to divest from their long-time identification, proximity and investment in their white-adjacent racial-class status and just as vociferously renounce our desire for protected inclusion in the multicultural empire

    ibbica, another thing missing is age. When I was 25, I never had a clue how different the world would seem at 60. I thought, men would stop bothering me, it would be great. Wish that was all the men thought…

    I’m surprised they didn’t put ‘cis’ white females on top of the priority list; guess they give a little nod to feminism when it suits them.

    Hierarchy? According to whom? Based on what criteria? What is the evidence?

    #17 and #29, among others, have way more power and privilege than any woman.

    Isn’t it funny how being a woman suddenly is the most unimportant characteristic to determine how oppessed you are?

    No matter all the sexism, forced prostitution or marriage, FGM, probability of being a DV victim etc. etc., even being a white bi man is less privileged nowadays. Citation very seriously needed…

    It’s amazing how little is on the chart. Migrant status? Nation of residence? Wealth? Disability? So on ad nauseam, all things outside their area of obsession are irrelevant apparently.

    Also, what the hell is with the block of ‘cis gay man, cis gay woman… cis lesbian man, cis lesbian woman’ (then repeat for trans)? At first glance I thought the redundancy was simply a matter of being exhaustive and gay was used to mean homosexual male and lesbian to mean homosexual female. But no, the thing is nonsensical even if one buys into their cis/trans jargon: cis lesbian man and cis gay woman?

    Surely the correct term is “honorary white”. The idea that whiteness is a state of mind has a pedigree.
