About
Privilege is a personal attribute assigned by society which allows the bearer unwritten freedom or power not available to others.
Examples
In modern Western society:
- If a man gives instructions in a business or academic environment, people are more likely to take him seriously than if the instructions are given by a woman. (This is but one of many examples of male privilege.)
- An unknown woman is more likely to be trusted than an unknown man, especially if pets or children are involved. example
There are many more types, but these are the ones I could figure out how to explain quickly. --Woozle 14:21, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
