"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

The origin of that phrase is ironic, given how it's used. It originates from a USENET post from the late 90s by what was essentially a proto-MRA referring to a woman.

I could see applying it in that direction today still, if talking about certain domains, like conscription or basically anything tied to the criminal justice system, or services for the homeless or victims of abuse.
