One of the few good things about Otherkin is that they're not protected by human rights.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

As Beeb mentioned, this is definitely intended for a North American college audience, but more than that, I think it's an attempt to codify the relative suffering weights assigned to each Oppressed Minority Group(tm).

The survey is clearly targeted at American young people and has some significant blind spots because of that, but it still scored me where I expected at "quite privileged".

Started but I gave up. Some of them make no sense.
Surely having to do taxes would be a sign of being privileged?
A big part of the reason I studied abroad is it was cheaper

It's an attempt to muddle any and all waters and make society more stupid.

Not in a context where the choice is "do your own taxes" or "have an accountant do your taxes for you."

Also that people having been mean to you at some point actually has anything to do with how privileged you are in life. It just may mean you spent time with huge assholes. Surely it should be something systematic that actually limited your opportunities in some way rather than simply being having to put up with some shit at some point.

Ah I see. I didn't see where they were going there. I was like 'wouldn't never paying taxes mean you are less privileged?'

Only certain kinds of meanness are taken into consideration.

I gave up, a visit to Japan in 1984 to see my wealthy girlfriend was greatly reducing my privilege, didn't seem right.
