Dad has recently gotten himself a much younger girlfriend whom he has moved in last month. My bedroom and their bedroom are wall to wall. The fact that they fuck doesn’t make me uncomfortable - so happy for them, but they do it on max volume. No joke. Every night at 11 and in the morning at 6 on the clock. These walls are paper thin apparently.
things people with privilege say
Seriously. We don’t even know how old the poster is, just that their dad is 48.
I was 20 when my dad was 48. I was in college and was only ‘home’ over the summers and winter break (when the dorms closed). My brother was 15. I don’t think it’d be reasonable to tell either of us to move out just because the adults in our lives were a tad indiscrete.
You don’t fucking know me bro. I’m not privileged in the least, the most I’ve borrowed from my parents is $20 and I worked for minimum wage all throughout my 20s.
Just because I’m not a deadbeat loser doesn’t mean I’m privileged.
i don’t think you understand what privilege is bro
Explain please.
systemic privilege of this kind is the invisible little leg ups that folks don’t realize are in fact giving them leg ups at all, leaving them wondering out loud why others just don’t share their gumption!
Examples of privilege include but are not limited to being cisgender, being white, being literate, being financially literate, having a body shape that is whole and conforms to societal standards, having a mind that is undamagrd and conforms to societal standards, being male, having family with the willingness and ability to house and feed you temporarily if you need it, having a family that supports you emotionally, having access to clean food and air, having access to information.
‘but that’s just being a basic person!’ you may think.
Social structures normalize the idea that those with these unearned advantages represent the baseline, leading to a general lack of awareness in the public like we see in this thread.
Get ready for him to reject this entirely
