Anyway, I wish people would stop trying to fix the clearly broken privileged/non-privileged dichotomy by just shifting the goalposts to keep the "right people" in the non-privileged group, or adding extra intersections. Sadly, I'm no Kepler with a new and better neat model to explain everything, but "use privilege when it works but remember it is just a flawed model" still seems like a step forward from pretending the system is perfect and the only people who question it are bigots.

This is one of the best phrasings of this particular thing I've ever seen and I'm so pleased to have read it.
