Stretching Our Thinking

Privelaged people tend to be in positions of power.

It can be difficult to talk about privelage as we identify with several groups. Some of these groups may be privilaged such as white or male and others might not be privilaged. These identities combine to form intersection.  Everyone should be treated equally and fairly, but this does not happen. People wrongly think that people who have privilage don't work hard and have an easy life. This is not true. I like the cycling anology that is used. We have different routes we take and some might be harder, but we all still need to work hard to reach our destination.
