My sociology professor had a really good metaphor for privilege today. She didn’t talk about race or gender or orientation or class, she talked about being left-handed.

A left-handed person walks into most classrooms and immediately is made aware of their left-handedness - they have to sit in a left-handed seat, which restricts their choices of where to sit. If there are not enough left-handed seats, they will have to sit in a right-handed seat and be continuously aware of their left-handedness. (There are other examples like left-handed scissors or baseball mitts as well.)

Meanwhile, right-handed people have much more choice about where to sit, and almost never have to think about their right-handedness.

Does this mean right-handed people are bad? No.

Does it mean that we should replace all right-handed desks with left-handed desks? No.

But could we maybe use different desk styles that can accommodate everyone and makes it so nobody has limited options or constant awareness that they are different? Yes.

Now think of this as a metaphor. For social class. For race. For ethnicity. For gender. For orientation. For anything else that sets us apart.

Fuck I love them

I remember this time where my class had a math substitute, and we couldn't be paying her less atention. There were a couple of guys who were trying to do the bottle flip challenge in every possible surface (and failing), and after a while the substitute got tired of their bs and told them to stop. One of those guys offered her a deal: if she could do the challenge in the first try, the class would get extra homework. So she went (fun fact she was pregnant) and did it. Everybody went fucking wild it was amazing
