I experience privilege by being white. I am very aware of this privilege and have noticed it even during childhood. I understand that being white means that I inherently get better treatment than non-white people. While this does not dismiss hardships that I have faced in life, I understand that my race is not a factor of my identity that causes difficulty in my life. Ways that I have been oppressed correlate with my gender. Being a woman has caused me to feel left out and limited in the past. During childhood when I was not allowed to play with the boys even though I loved to play sports and on a larger scale, during school projects and work I have been ignored and dismissed by men who felt that I wasn’t capable. Relating to my health, I experienced an incredible amount of dismissal and difficulty during my journey of getting diagnosed with endometriosis. Speaking of limitations, women’s health research and funding are extremely limited!! This has actually caused the deaths of many women but speaking from personal experience, I missed out on lots of schooling and had a major setback in my education because of the lack of care and attention from doctors. After watching the videos I better understand that privilege comes from many different factors and each individual’s privilege is unique to them because of their identity. What I did know before watching the video is that privilege essentially means advantage and people can use it in negative or positive ways. I also understand that oppression is always cruel and comes from a need to feel superior. Additionally, the video helped me better understand that ignorance is a choice and that educating yourself should be a responsibility, not something that is optional.
