McIntosh is making a comparison from White privilege towards Male privilege to show the readers some differences and similarities that he had made. She realized and had been educated about racism the can be out at disadvantages towards others and had been taught not to see the approval aspects of white privilege that puts the author at advantage.
She learned from observing men from their work and is known as unacknowledged privilege and they are much of oppressiveness to unconscious, which leads to white women of oppressive. She then decides to see her self as an oppressors and was taught to see herself s an individual who depended on herself for moral will. She wanted to identifying the daily effects that she chose as her condition: class, religion, ethnic status, or geographical location. She shared a lot of things that she had observed and her statements are very honest and personal.
She begins to see the patters of traits as of assumptions that were also passed down to her has a white person. She says that her racial group had protected her from being in the main culture of daily situations that she had seen before. I personally agree with her because, during high school if you were considered to belong in a race what ever their problem was and you did not even hang out as much they got each other's back. Lets just say, "Your business is my business, brothers."
The way she used the white privilege as a simile to compare it to as if it is invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, code books, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks. I think she is comparing it to be so well around the world and is always carried on a white person but it is so invisible that they do not see it themselves.
In the article of White Privilege the author disagrees with some reasons of McIntosh's article since some one had told him/her that he/she is privileged. He understand why some broke whit folks get pissed when the word "privilege" is thrown around them. When he was a child he was discriminated because of his poverty and the wounds that scared him are still deep. He was lucky to be introduced to education and a better more word for privilege was "intersectionality" He says those are all of the things that a human person is born with and not hings you earn and it can give open opportunities that others may not have. With some of the identities some people may have the same and different traits.
I have had a better view as I started to read this article that had made more sense than the other one. It gives out a opinion about the word privilege and from a white person's pov.
