Now you're supposed to feel bad about it, because the word connotes injustice by virtue of denoting a concept of "private law" - one rule for me, another for thee. But people who want you to feel bad about it don't want to be seen to be saying they want that, so they ignore the denotation and the connotation in their rhetoric, whose every deployment demonstrates further that it is enormously unhelpful toward its stated purpose, but which persists nonetheless. One wonders why.

why so defensive about being privileged? it almost illustrates the concept for us... you claim to be privileged but also claim to not understand how it might make you different.
