Yes, what you're saying is accurate of course. School yard politics are particularly disgusting.

My original article came from my observation that the Capitol Hill insurrection was an example of white privilege. Somebody corrected me to say it was "white male" privilege, which I don't think is accurate since there were white women attacking the Capitol as well.

I would say that wealth privilege is another factor in maintaining the current systems of oppression.

We also have to look at how religion has contributed to unjust patriarchal systems that have oppressed women. I really wish more feminists would be vocal in their criticisms of the church.

What makes things confusing is exactly what you said, "you can be privileged in one area and oppressed in another."

I think what concerns me is when I try to write an article on white privilege, and I am subjected to criticism for not calling it "white male" privilege.

Yes, white men hold the bulk of the power in our society, and are most directly responsible for its ills exactly as you said. However, it's not productive to confuse white privilege with male privilege. They are not the same thing.

If we are to understand these things, it's important to be accurate in how we discuss them, even if that means we have to recognize our part in contributing to systems of oppression.
