Even 'privilege' is jargon.
as gaga once said (spoof)
if you ever have the privilege of meeting me it will be because of one of four reasons
you got passed the paparazzi
you're as famous and powerful as me
you work for me
I take pity on you (i.e. publicity stunt)
privilege is not black and white, it fluid (like gender)
the key point is that barriers prevent you from asserting influence in society
only white men could vote once, and so they got what they wanted first
the lord could kill his serfs and it was legal to do so, they were property as Marx Says.
Today it is slightly different but still the same, social capital is a privilege, money is one thing that can buy that, but money and talent is worthless if society still rejects you
if you can't get by on your merits that is the definition of low privilege (societal rejection)
