As a person of privilege, I've found that it's best to listen rather than demand a seat at the table.
Could you not just use your privilege to get a seat at a better table?

MOD POST
Ann Chovie and Clueless Git are two distinct people. Believe me, we have checked.
CG and Ann Chovie seem like different people to me.
Thanks for that.
I know we are because..
one of us is female, has lady lumps, hair, and a job in cancer welfare support and CG doesn't!

They seem different to me just from the amount of detail they have given about their jobs and they don't have the same posting style, to me anyway.
Yes, I think people should stop and think before they make comments if they are speaking from a position of privilege when they are making remarks about a certain community.
Although I think people should be able to give their opinion even if they are not a member of the group they are discussing as I think it's important people are able to debate and hopefully learn or share information.

So .. We have now played
" your posts cannot be understood as they have grammatical errors/ spelling mistakes (delete as appropriate)
And the " you have two usernames but are actually the same person" game.
Are we now moving onto the " you have fabricated this account of your personal experience . You have not lived this life at all" game?
It's just that in my "experience" that game comes next and I wanted to get in first.
I agree with this.
I think that everybody can contribute towards a discussion/etc, and form their own opinions - even if that discussion is about a group they don't belong to. But some groups of people are talked about, discussed and made decisions for without anybody of that group of people having any input. Something which I believe lead to the "nothing about us, without us" motto of some disability rights movements. On a smaller, personal, scale, I think a similar thing applies - if you're not part of a group, I think it makes sense, and is more polite, thoughtful and helpful, to do more listening than talking. If you're doing more talking than listening - you might well be doing more harm than good, even if your intentions are good.
I made a comment once years ago elsewhere that I avoid Walmart because of the way they treat employees and someone responded back "must be nice to be rich enough to not shop at Walmart." Me, rich? When did that happen and why didn't anyone tell me? And for what it's worth, Walmart often doesn't have the best prices anyway. Off topic I know.
How do we know which group someone belongs too though? I get the impression here with the fury I've inspired that some think I'm rolling in money and looking down on poor, single moms, for example.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing", as Lord Vader would have put it. The VV mod team is not a bunch of total amateurs.So you've had dinner with them? I'm sure that was nice.
