@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Either privilege is always conditional, Male Privilege is not a privilege it is something else, or the concept of Male Privilege is not coherent.

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw If someone uses Male Privilege in order to dismiss sacrifices it is creating a new semantic use as a way of dismissing instead of using it as a term for a sociological phenomena. If someone says that they have sacrificed so it is wrong to say they have Male Privilege it would likewise be a new semantic use that dismisses the sociological phenomena. The original definition and semantic use as crafted. Would suggest that Male Privilege must simultaneously exist as a complex sociological phenomena alongside other things instead of being used as a cudgel outside its originated context. It is a term as defined originally that is meant to explore how a set of conditional benefits exploits and harms many people to reinforce a Patriarchal System. If trans people have Male Privilege as originally defined, it would follow that trans people are being harmed when they have Male Privilege and that the term could be used to label and explore that harm.
