Have you read these two threads on diversity and inclusion? There’s some discussion on both sides about it.
I just think that there are different kinds of privilege eg gender, race, class. A white cis male from a poor background might have certain kinds of privileges but not others, and resent being told he is privileged, when we are comparing apples and oranges.
However, I’m wary of statements saying “political correctness gone mad” or “witch hunt” in recent conversations in the media because it makes it out to seem like there is an attack on men, when it’s about raising women up not putting men down.
Also, equality doesn’t = giving the exact same things but rather raising them up to give them a more equal footing. That’s why we have bursaries and subsidies for underprivileged children, initiatives to introduce more women in certain industries, etc.
