CMV:"X Privilege" as a phrase is no longer useful and the terminology should be abandoned in an effort to actually solve the issues presented by privilege.

" Insert-Prefix Privilege" Is no longer useful for accomplishing it's goals or reminding people of their privilege. Furthermore in the broader discussions with people unawares, mentioning privilege merely polarizes the argument to the point that discussion is impossible, which is exactly counter intuitive to the goals set by using the phrase in the first place. Also, while I am aware the proper use of the phrase is merely a jab at informing people that their decisions are informed or motivated by anecdotal evidence, the general population and thus the actual vocal majority of people who use "X privilege" as a phrase merely do so to invalidate other parties from offering their outsiders perspective on an issue. I.E. "You can't understand what I'm going through, check your privilege." If people who support privilege as an idea, desire to actually see results, you can't coin a phrase that just upsets the people who you are actually trying to cause change in to describe them because as far as they are concerned, it's all they've ever known and thus you are effectively insulting them. It's not effective.

Please, CMV.

I dunno, do people react badly to the term privilege because its become somehow toxic, or will those people react with hostility to any argument that implies that they have had a systemic advantage in life, when they derive a huge portion of their self worth from the (likely) mistaken notion that they "made it all on their own" or some such?

That's kind of what worries me about abandoning useful terminology just because certain folks decide its "insulting".
