View submission: My boyfriend says I’m privileged

View parent comment

There is this weird tendency in modern society to use "privileged" as an insult. And also, to describe a lot of default stuff as being privileged. And then to guilt trip people for not being raised as poor orphans.

You don't sound especially privileged, you sound average. Average is certainly more privileged than badly-off... but it's still... average.

But it doesn't matter, because even if you were the beloved scion of a wealthy family whose parents were still together and used perfect childrearing practices, you wouldn't need to feel guilty.
