Most people who throw around the word privilege literally have no clue what it fucking means. They treat privilege like some unseen advantage that permeates society, when it's quite the opposite. Privileges are extremely obvious and codified, or they are not privileges. Like how the nobility was exempt from taxes, or how in certain countries the amount of votes you had when voting for parliament was tied to the amount of land you owned. These are actual privileges. What people call privilege today are either spooks of the imagination or just bad examples that don't really count.
