Being Called a Privileged White Karen on Twitter
By an even more privileged white man — let’s chat about that.
Let’s get clear on something real quick:
As far as women in the world go, I am undeniably about the most privileged, short of a small percentage of white women millionaires and celebrities.
And that fact is not uncomfortable for me to admit.
It’s reality, and I recognize that there are many ways that I socially and culturally benefit in the world simply because of where I live, and the colour of my skin.
And you know what? That’s f*cked up and entirely unjust.
There is nothing innately special about me, and I fully believe that my sister from the other side of the world, or the other side of the country, living in a less profitable community than me should have as much access to opportunities and overall wellbeing as I do.
When the world is more equal, we all win.
Social media is a cesspool for inequality of all kinds.
Two days ago I, a privileged white woman, called out even more privileged individuals than myself — again.
