Het privileged [censored]s

Over on the Antir mailing list someone mentioned something about wearing ribbons for "Inspirational Equality" at an upcoming Crown event.

It was mostly ignored but someone posted asking what it was. It was explained it was about allowing same sex consorts in the SCA.

Which led to several people including a couple who are normally "fight the establishment, stick up for the underdog" types to post complaints.

One even used the phrase "rub your sexual preferences in our faces".

That's when I wrote several pointed replies.

Oh yes, another one somehow got the idea this would mean having what he referred to as "male Queens" (except he called it transgendered queens first).

I had a few things to say about that too.

*sigh*

Privilege

The discussion on the Antir mailing list led to a number of things, one of which was a blog post someone linked to. It's a great discussion of privilege.
