to ask you about different types of privilege women can have? e.g slim, educated

[pepperandapples]

Just that really - what are the different types of privilege that women can have that make them more or less privileged than other women?

e.g able bodied, wealth, education, slim. What else is there?

is height one? how about hair colour and accent etc?

I am trying to understand

What culture prohibits you from exercising?

None of the things you mentioned are female specific and actually men benefit more from privilege

@sheoaouhra are you trying to be the most militant Teeny-tiny on Mumsnet? 😂😂

Honestly, I remember reading comments like yours from a poster who turned out to be a moderator from a pro-Ana site.

It annoys me when people reject scientific information in favour of their own issues.

• Health privilege (i.e nothing wrong physically etc, no illness, strong immune system etc)
• Wealth privilege (less stress, able to do health things preemptively (private HRT clinic, had a tooth drilled into "just in case it was decay' and it turned out it was the very beginnings of what would have been a bigger filling etc), have full health screening at Harley street each year etc. Home security.

One privilege particularly women have is not having to worry about conscription if there is a war (unless this changes or has changed) - though I'm too old for that now

It just makes them look completely stupid. 🤷‍♀️

Fertility privilege- some women have no problems conceiving and suffer no miscarriages in their life. I am one of those women

One privilege particularly women have is not having to worry about conscription if there is a war (unless this changes or has changed)

Women were conscripted in 1942.

Sadly, I think for women one of the biggest ones is attractiveness. I think this is a bigger privilege than other obvious ones like race, intelligence, even education level in many cases.

Health is huge too, of course, but that's not sex specific.

Does height really matter for women? I know for men it's proved to correlate with wealth but I don't know about women.

I do love all these posts desperately trying to deny privilege exists and that they might have it.
Newsflash - it does and you, if you are posting here, very likely do.

This is insane! 😂
I’ve had consecutive miscarriages but that doesn’t mean I would even consider women who have kids and no miscarriages have anymore advantage in life than me 🤯 it’s just life

Height is only a factor in earnings for men, interestingly. Tall men earn more than short men. There's no correlation for women.

However slim women, on average, do earn more than overweight women.

Interestingly, weight has no bearing on earning potential of men...

Is this really a thing? How does being skinny for example make you privileged? I get pretty privilege, but don’t think that really comes down to specifics like weight, hair colour etc just depends on your overall look

Height matters for men's earnings but makes no difference for women based on studies.

I actually think shorter women are perceived to be more attractive than taller women in research into attractiveness etc

And privilege for being attractive (for both sexes) is huge

I agree, being plain and middle aged is a huge advantage

budget has nothing to do with being slim, not in the slightest.

excuses, excuses, excuses. If you are obese, it is because you are choosing not to change, in almost all cases

It annoys me when people spread toxic misinformation, which will have a profoundly negative effect on the quality of life and life expectancy of people believing it.

If you are obese, and don't want to be, then change it

You are so obtuse.
This is my final comment to you.
Obesity is rarely a choice. It is a mix of cultural, societal, genetic, medical, hormonal, emotional etc factors.
Educate yourself if you really want to preach your toxicity

Hardly any adult women are naturally blonde. Is having dyed hair and looking identical to every other woman with dyed blonde hair really a privilege?

Can you imagine being an overweight middle aged woman running round rough areas of any inner city?
Likely to result in abuse from everyone from teenagers to taxi drivers. Not the most appealing prospect.
Then imagine this woman is also a single parent and has a job. She has no time to go running as she's at work or with her children.
Unfortunately this is the life of many women in deprived areas.
Maybe she has a chronic health condition as well. (As many poor people do).
Of course she also has no spare money for fresh healthy food. She can't fill up on lean meats, nuts and salads - her options are be hungry or eat cheap junk.
I mean obviously she could "just eat less" but it's pretty obvious why people don't and why obesity is so strongly linked with deprivation

Race

most of this is nothing to do with "privilege". Many of these characteristics have advantages and disadvantages

If I'm getting on board with the slicing and was going to think about thin privilege I'd suggest that thinness/health is likely indicative of other, more obvious and easily understood privileges

Sorry but you're completely wrong. There's loads of evidence that obesity is a poverty associated public health problem.

Everything is harder when you're poor. Things like relationship breakdown, domestic abuse, all kinds of health conditions, life expectancy. Why should losing weight be any different?

its a choice.
