Ah, I see. My intent was not to suggest that all (or even most) marginalized people experience inequity as oppressive, although I can see how I could be read that way. I should also note that I believe there's something to the idea of false consciousness. Oppressed people often do not acknowledge the fact of their own oppression, although I'm not saying that's the case for past-you. Note that I didn't say the best way to acquire information about the impact of privilege is to be a marginalized person.
Also, the impact of marginalization along some axis (economic status, say) can be considerably mitigated by privilege along other axes (race/education/gender/etc.). I've been quite poor too -- while I was a grad student -- but my experience of poverty was, I'm pretty sure, qualitatively different from that of an inner-city African American single mother (even one with the same income I had) or a Dalit in rural India.
I should also note that I believe there's something to the idea of false consciousness.
"False consciousness" seems suspiciously like an excuse to protect one's social theories from conflicting evidence.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Of course, for "every Monday", the last one should have been dated July 22-28. *cough*
