‘Heterosexual Privilege’ Board Displayed in Univ. Of Wisconsin Residence Hall
22nd June 2015
I am not making this up.
Ogg Hall, home to many first and second-year students, prominently displayed the heterosexual privilege board so that students could read about “benefits automatically derived from being or being perceived as being heterosexual.”
This is news? At least they’re using the term correctly — although, since the majority of people are heterosexual, they might use ‘pubilage’ instead (not that that’s a word….).
Why don’t they just say ‘normal privilege’ and be done with it? Of course there are a lot of ‘privileges’ associated with being normal, primarily because that’s what most people are — indeed, that’s what ‘normal’ is all about.
