Fighting over who's "privileged" among the top 1% of the world makes you look ignorant of that fact..

There are different strata of social privilege. Pointing out that others exist (when nobody even denied that fact) as a means to minimize legitimate concerns seems unnecessary.
Can a gay American not talk about straight privilege while advocating for equal marriage rights?
Or a white woman not acknowledge the very real existence of male privilege?
