Beware the Cow





I feel like I'm gonna lose a ton of points when I move out and stop mooching off my parents next year. Pretty sure all of the ones about poverty are going to become applicable.

It's really a lot of questions when it could just be:

-Are you white?
-Are you a man?
-Are you straight?
-Are you rich?
-Are you free of any other random lovely problems (weight, anxiety, etc.)?

I think p much everyone should have like 50 out of 100. I mean, living in USA, Canada, Western Europe, and like maybe Japan and Korea means you are loving privileged as poo poo.

I mean, even if you are furry tranny bi sexual that is plurp-gender and homeless in the USA still has a lot of privilege. Put that weirdo next to a homeless refugee from Syria that squeaked out a brutal life living in some medieval stone hut in the desert, and then compare who needs to check their privilege. To these faggy fucks, it would still be the loving troglodyte refugee.

lol this quiz is bullshit. I only got a 46 but I'm white and my eccentric rich parents paid for my two college degrees so I'm living on Easy Street. Sure some hosed up stuff happened to me but I don't think that makes me "less privileged."

Like "oh n o I felt uncomfortable telling people I am a demisexual dogfucker" or whatever, that's called shame friendo. Also bitch please, someone is always going to call you either too fat or too skinny. Welcome to Being Alive.

The quality of learning taking place in sociology 101 at universities around the world is apparently pretty bad if this is the poo poo people come up with.

having good/bad/dead parents should be a category for privilege.

also, i think it's debatable how much of a plus 2 and 3 really are, depending where you live. and depending on the last bullet point.

Does that mean you can only click that question if you have never been alone?

I believe you might be like me - privileged, but very lazy, so your day to day activities resemble an unprivileged person.

So is using prescription drugs recreationally a privilege? If so, there are a lot of trailer folk who are more privileged than I thought.

Growing up as a white girl in Asia really negates a lot of these questions in the way the quiz-makers intended.

There wasn't even a question about penis size and that is a major factor right there.

The only things that seemed to drag my score down is the fact that I'm an atheist and the fact that my students routinely call me a fag, despite the fact that I'm heterosexual. I really don't think that counts for the purposes of the test, but I marked it anyway.

56 out of 100. Thank god someone called me a fag in highschool. I took another quiz on buzz feed that told me I like MILF Porn so where does that fit into my privilege?

How does this test not just immediately tell you to 'die cis scum' if you tick the white, hetero and male boxes and nothing else?

Almost as if the quiz is written by and for the relatively privileged, in a way that allows them to think of themselves as underprivileged and therefore in a position to be dishing out the smug lectures, rather than acknowledging that even the forms of discrimination they experience are only a concern for those at the top.
