Lately, I have been hearing a lot about white male privilege. In fact, just this week a feminist named Lucy got upset with me for using my “white male privilege” to decry abortion in several of my posts on social media. Specifically, she was concerned that I was trying to “use (my) privilege to control women’s bodies.” But Lucy fails to understand that she is also a beneficiary of a special privilege. I call it White Birth Privilege, by which I am specifically referring to:
The fact that white people are less likely to be aborted and therefore have greater access to society’s legal and political institutions.
