What annoys me to no end is that western privilege or American privilege is rarely acknowledged by those participating in the oppression Olympics. That's the real privilege out there, even if you're middle class or poor by western standards, you're still better off than the majority of people around the world. A white person from a communist country has a much worse life than a black American TiM. But somehow people forget that.

I had an abortion some years ago. It was not a financial burden on me and I realize that I was very lucky and privileged to just be able to get it when I needed it. But what about all the women in the world that can't afford it? So I started donating to international organizations that help underprivileged women around the world with reproductive health, including abortion. I also started donating to doctors without borders. Because they help the actually oppressed people around the world. It just makes me so angry when I'm see people living cushy lives crying about other's privileges.
