    Murder can mean anything, since unlawful can vary (it has been quite a bit of people who has been literally incapable to commit murder, no matter how many people they personally killed), so it means nothing. Thus we don't have murder, or any other form of crime.

    Female journalists get on average more harassment, in particular of the sexual violence kind. A native has way less risk of having their work application thrown away after someone simply looked at the name, compared to the foreigner.

    That doesn't mean that there are exceptions, but those does not nullify the existence of privilege.

    The term comes from that since the "norm" doesn't experience the extra difficulties, it often doesn't even occur for the "norm" that those difficulties exist at all.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
