Privilege

2009-06-05T19:26:53Z

JLeland: Reverted edits by 71.31.100.110 (Talk) to last version by Vito excalibur

'''Privilege''' is a set of unearned advantages or benefits that is systematically provided to people in one class and not to people in another class. Privilege is not binary: one does not either have privilege or not have it. A poor white woman will have white privilege as compared to a rich black woman, and the rich black woman will have class privilege as compared to her.

Systematic privilege is not something that an individual can choose to take on or give up. Because it is not about what the individual does, being instead about how other people treat her, it is like a nickname: it is given or withheld from the individual without her permission. [[Peggy McIntosh]] gives an example of white privilege: " I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented." This is an advantage that Ms. McIntosh has in life, but it is not one that she can give up.

One of the most important features of privilege is that it tends to be invisible to the people who have it. Rather than being an obvious benefit, privilege usually takes the form of a difficulty or obstacle that other classes have to face, but is removed for the members of one class. Those who have it, therefore, find it difficult to see an absence. To use another of Peggy McIntosh's examples: "If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race." A white person in this situation is likely to say "That isn't privilege, that is just the way it should be." That is indeed just the way it <em>should</em> be; but since that is not the way it is for everyone, the fact that it is that way for white people is a privilege that they have.

Members of a privileged class are often asked by others to "check their privilege". This may be used in the sense of "check your privilege at the door": when a member of a privileged class enters a space which is dominated by people of another class, she may need to make a deliberate effort to adjust to not having some of the privileges she is usually given. It may also be used in the sense of "check whether you are unconsciously taking advantage of your privilege, or assuming that your privilege is universal."

The theory of '''privilege''' was first advanced by [[Peggy McIntosh]] in [http://www.amptoons.com/blog/files/mcintosh.html "White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack"], first published in ''Independent School'', Winter 1990.

There are quite a few pseudonyms listed that aren't masculine or gender-ambiguous. I propose to revert this article to its old name, and maybe highlight why many women have chosen pseudonyms that don't seem feminine. Thoughts? --[[User:JLeland|Therem]] 03:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:List of women's pseudonyms and variant names

2009-06-02T03:20:32Z

JLeland: New page: There are quite a few pseudonyms listed that aren't masculine or gender-ambiguous. I propose to revert this article to its old name, and maybe highlight why many women have chosen pseudony...

Body swaps and soul / personality migrations

2009-05-31T03:00:13Z

JLeland: /* List of examples */ oops

'''Body swaps''' and soul or personality migrations -- where one person's personality goes into someone else's body -- is a common theme in SF.

In the gender context, can provide opportunities for humor and political commentary as psychically "other" characters attempt to adjust to the gender expectations and norms for their new body-gender.
Focusing on one character who changes their sex, takes over or incarnates into a different sexed body, or swaps bodies with another character, lets the author explore otherness. Also inherently explores the question of the essentiality of gender and whether it resides in the body or the "soul", or both.

Also used to swap out people in different roles -- e.g., mother/daughter (''[[Freaky Friday]]'') -- different classes, different races/ethnicities.

Some authors have also used frequent sex changes as a way of de-essentializing gender or showing that it is No Big Deal; for example, by showing multiple reincarnations across gender (as in Kim Stanley Robinson's ''The Years of Rice and Salt'', or simple and ubiquitous sex-change technology (as in [[John Varley]]'s [[Eight Worlds]] universe.

==List of examples==
* "[[Switch]]", by Blake Edwards (a man is "punished" for his sexist ways when he dies by coming back as a woman; he redeems his evil ways by dying in childbirth)
* [[Charlotte Perkins Gilman]], "[[Turning]]"; short story about a wife magically transferred into her husband's body, experiencing the freedom of male dress and petty sexisms.
* [[Robert A. Heinlein]], ''[[I Will Fear No Evil]]'' (man's brain in woman's body)
* [[Kim Stanley Robinson]], ''[[The Years of Rice and Salt]]'' (2002) (reincarnation across multiple genders; some demonstration of sexism in society, but the characters' spiritual essence appears to be genderless)
* [[Thorne Smith]], ''[[Turnabout]]'' ([[1931]]) (an early instance of body swapping in literature; probably the thematic inspiration for mostly non-sexual "[[Freaky Friday]]" type body swapping films)
* ''[[Freaky Friday]]''
* "The Boone Identity" in ''[[The Dresden Files]]''
* "Out of Their Minds" in ''[[Farscape]]''

We Do The Work (WisCon 33 panel)

JLeland: /* Panel reports */ formatting

'''We Do The Work'''

The Craft and Business of Writing (Spirituality, Organized Religion and Politics) • Friday 4:00 - 5:15PM • Conference 4

SF writers are supposed to be good at building compelling and believable worlds. So why is it so hard to build a world featuring working class characters in working class settings, especially given that a lot of SF writers come from that kind of background? What has worked, for you? What hasn't? Who clearly hasn't tried? Who has tried, but failed spectacularly? SF fans have done a good job of demanding better–written women and minorities in SF; what about their working class counterparts?

M: [[Fred Schepartz]], [[Eleanor Arnason|Eleanor A. Arnason]], [[Chris Hill]], [[Michael J. Lowrey]], [[Diana Sherman]]
