182. Yes white privilege
You've obviously never consulted with a woman in your corporation able the different treatment she receives in that corporate structure.

It is not limited to corporations either.

I think you should consult one of my favorite speeches from the 1800s. Sojourner Truth's Ain't I a Woman?
"That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman?"


Look the truth is privilege allows some women to be more equal than others. It is not always that the person with the privilege sets it in motion but the truth is, they reap the benefits.


Should we be hesitant in acknowledging or admitting that?
