The quiz determines my location which happens to be not an English speaking nation with mostly non-white citizens, yet if I check English as first language and being white I become more privileged. The quiz is a bit misleading like that, since it is clearly designed to be taken by people who live in English speaking, white majority, Christian majority nations.

I think even if you subscribe to intersectionality as a world view, this is insane. You are telling me that a cis Asian person is exactly 3.5 times as oppressed as a transgender white person? Or that being gay is 1.5 times easier than being a woman? Assigning numeric values to something as complex and nuanced as this is absolutely ridiculous and impossible. Not to mention handling every single factor, even addressing the factors you put in the FAQ would even scratch the surface. Like how would being an Asian PoC in a predominantly Asian country make you less privileged, the way it's currently set up is a eurocentric and America-centric way of thinking. Like if you were trans in Brazil vs trans in Norway, not all non-US countries are equal. Then all of these sliders are totally subjective. An age slider with no real values? How can PoC be a slider, race is completely made up? An education slider? AND on top of that it actually completely goes traditional AGAINST intersectional belief. Here oppression just simply added up. If you were, idk, poor uneducated and gay wouldn't that compound your oppression, while if you were rich educated and gay your gayness might barely impact your life.
For a real-life example of some of what I'm talking about:
For a variety of reasons, I identify as agender, and yet it has had exactly 0 impacts on life. Yet the fact that my sex is male has impeded with perceptions of my personal decisions. Yet according to this, my agender-ness is more oppressed than my maleness. So, how does that work, exactly?

"you can make some improvement to your score by getting more involved with Islam or Judaism"
You do know that both religions are literally at war at each other, right? That the holy books of both talk about killing the members of the opposite religion.

Getting involved with both sounds like a good way to make enemies of both, but then again that does sound like a good way to reduce your privilege, while also solving nothing like everyone expected this solution to do.

"We hope that this calculator will help (snip)"
You're not gonna end ableism unless you break everyone's knees. Being more able is good and not a problem.
You're not going to end any kind of antisemitism or -phobia, -ism because you never address why someone would ever actually have those positions. Maybe their fear isn't so irrational at all.

As usual, this is nothing but a placebo to make you feel good about pointing fingers to everyone that worked harder and got success in life, not actually helping anyone.

I finally cracked the code. This is not a guide to "being a better ally" after all. It's a guide on how to become more successful.

According to the authors, all you gotta do to win the game of life is to be a white straight cisgender male with a lot of cash in his 20s, capable of speaking your countries native language and not have any physical abnormalities.
Obviously, you also can't win if you're not a devout Christian that gets a STEM degree while mocking jews and muslims.

It's all there, you can scroll up and test it yourself.
If you convert to Islam or Judaism, you'll be in a worse situation.
If you immigrate, sticking to your native tongue instead of learning the local one also impacts you negatively.
Changing gender also makes your life worse as does being anything other than straight.
As you scroll those bars left and right, I hope you come to the logical conclusion of what the authors wanted: Avoid as much as possible being part of any opressed group, it will make your life miserable. Go to church and work for money!

I don’t think this works, the sliding scale idea, when talking about gender privilege. I was assigned female at birth, but I’m non-binary and trans. I present androgynously, but I wouldn’t say that it makes sense that according to this, I’d have less privilege, as someone who presents androgynously. It doesn’t make sense. Transphobia, cissexism, sexism, and homophobia are complicated. Also, being “100% gay” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re less privileged. Many pan and queer people are more oppressed than cis gay men, in particular. Also, gender, presentation, and anatomy (gender assigned at birth) are three totally different things, that intersect in very complicated ways! I’d like to see this updated, to accommodate for non-binary trans folks. Because I’m a lot of ways, non-binary trans people can face more obstacles (legally and socially) than binary trans people. Maybe you could add a scale from binary to non-binary trans, but that still wouldn’t be anywhere near perfect. I like the idea, but think it needs major tweaking

I like how the Devout Christian slider turns red. Are they trying to say something?
I like it how Female provides the highest point factor (15). Because of course, it does.
I like how the Female slider turns pink and the Male slider turns blue. Gender stereotype much?
I like how Devout Muslim only provides a single point to the score. Very Islamophobic.
I like how Born in UK is somehow seen as more privilege-inducing than Born in US. Something, something, Donald Trump.

I am a minority, born into homeless in the USA, single parent and was a child of immigrants.

After hard work, i did good for myself. I love capitalism and what it brings. My parents worked hard and got a little better. I followed their work ethics and now I am better than them. My child, is a great straight A student, so I believe my child will grow up to better than me.

If my parents didn't immigrate to the USA, 110% without a doubt, I would be in 3rd world poverty despite my efforts.

When my child is old enough, I plan to take my child to my ethic homeland to show him that the world is filled with suffering beyond comprehension but the USA is the best nation the world has ever seen. So much is offered in the USA, I am a proud American.

When I was younger (I'm still a millennial, lol), I was a hardcore liberal. Now I'm a conservative. The only thing I'm going is that I learned this...

Liberals cry victimhood not because they want to work to make their lives better but because they want to be in power to punish. I noticed that pattern and left the left as . Pay attention and you will see what I saw and hopefully leave.

This is stupid. Weighing up who is the most oppressed creates a battle of oppression. People with low score feel guilty, people with high ones feel entitled. You can't fix a problem by weighing it up with other problems. Also, ever consider that it can be experienced in the reverse? That because I am a straight white male people bring me down on being oppressive, or I get excluded from "female only" or "minority only" opportunities such as women in stem? Or that I loose out on a well deserved job because "they needed to create diversity". This is utter rubbish

I love how all the people criticizing this have <20 points. Reminds me of that social experiment where if you have a bucket in a classroom and score the students on whether they’re able to throw a ball into it from where they’re sitting, the kids sitting further away from the bucket will realize it’s unfair because of the unequal distances but the kids sitting closer won’t.
Being privileged isn’t a crime and you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable when it’s pointed out. No reason to feel guilty, but just be aware of it, especially before criticizing people less successful than you who may’ve faced obstacles that you never had to deal with.

As everyone else here knows: this is meaningless. It's not whether a person is better or worse than another.
