		<description><![CDATA[I was just reading An Open Letter to the White Feminist Community and was struck following arguments:
WE ARE ALL WOMEN FIRST and every one of these women who call themselves feminists seems to have forgotten that infighting doesn’t further the feminist cause.
This kind of divisiveness hurts us. And it drives away young women of all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my blog, I had just linked to an excellent and common example by BrownFemiPower of white women getting credit for helping women at large when they&#8217;ve actually done a lot of harm to women.
How did they do this harm?
By forgetting to ask themselves whether women in a population group would be disproportionately hurt (compared [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yonmei has a post up about The politics of indifference which I think makes a great example of privilege in action.
I&#8217;ve excerpted a portion (with one minor edit so the text doesn&#8217;t break my layout):
I have experienced bigotry directed against the minorities to which I belong, but not often. The most common reaction of majority [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of time my Privilege in Action posts are born out of me seeing two unrelated areas of interest facing the same exact privileged arguments. This time, it&#8217;s on the subject of women-oriented spaces, but of course it can be applied to spaces geared towards any non-privileged group.
Let me begin my post with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Maybe it&#8217;s a little unfair to be using FoxNews as the subject of a PiA post, since that station seems to go out of its way to defend and perpetuate bigotry, but the methodology is exactly the same as people with good intentions use, so I decided that it was worth using the material.

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s PiA post comes from the Girl Wonder forums. It is, in part, a reaction to my privilege list, which the poster in question was linked to among other posts.
I have lived my life bullied and dismissed and marginalized and aloof; if there&#8217;s a &#8220;white male heterosexual privilege&#8221;, no one ever told me how to [...]]]></description>
