It is not enough to acknowledge that you are a recipient of privilege. The
point is to work against your privilege, your power. If you just accept your
status, in essence you declare "that's just the way things are." And by doing
so you continue your role as an active oppressor.
A. Leith wrote,
"my society awards me certain advantages (i call them, powers) over others in
my same society, and over the earth, and that others have certain powers over
me. BUT...having these powers doesn't mean i use then for evil, or even that I
use them at all...but they are accorded to me... whether i like it or not."
By the way, I'm still waiting for a response to my question about how sexism
connects with environmental degradation in the practiacal life of a
middle-class, north american, white woman.
