Can you elaborate on this?


Not parent.

But in my experience, but "privilege" usually relies on invoking stereotypes (males, females, white, etc) and then shutting down individuals by invoking that their discussion is just 'privilege'.

I saw a 'yelling over each other' thread on Facebook in which white feminists were being name-called by black feminists calling them names of various sorts for supporting only white rights. Any modicum of discussion was drowned out by chest-beating of lines of racism and sexism. I believe that thread is still going on.

"Mansplaining" is yet another term that does that on sex based grounds. The term "manspreading" is yet another term with a sexist root- as only men can sit down and spread their lags in relaxation.
