I think there is nuance here. My understanding is that there is a very small but loud percentage of women that want to exclude men. When DEI (inclusion of less represented individuals) is encouraged, it’s often cut down by “only the most qualified should be hired”, detracting from the core topic which is bias. Most of the discourse around privilege was to help understand that men aren’t actively oppressive, but many are blind to the ways in which they contribute to the oppressive issues due to cultural programming. In parallel to what we’re seeing with protests - inaction is not helpful. Those that are privileged are more likely to be able to change the minds of those that are actively oppressive. TL;DR privilege is just the ability to apply peer pressure.

Most memories are from my early 2000s childhood:
- playing Ultima Online (MMO)
- playing Gunbound (artillery game)
- playing games and hoarding items on Neopets
- browsing nonsense on sites like Ebaumsworld & Newgrounds
- “dj-ing” on coke music (online lounge) to make dBs to spend on furniture for upgrading my clubhouse
- chatting with schoolmates on MSN messenger
- learning html to make my page on Nexopia (similar to Myspace)
- making little fashion avatars on Dollz Mania (and putting them on my Nexopia)
- downloading all sorts of viruses through music on Limewire

I try to name unconnected things until I’m interrupted by a different thought, then when I realize I’ve gone off I play the unconnected naming game again. Doesn’t matter if there is a connection. Apparently this disorganized thinking is similar to sleep thoughts and can help get your brain in the mood for sleeping.
Example: sheep, glass, shelf, sock, alien, whisker, etc
