the eye of Nova's mind

I am thinking of making my own privilege lists (female/woman, black, and the combination thereof), but I think, and this is my point, that the reason privilege lists are important tools is because they are written by those who are in those shoes. The person who wrote about the invisible knapsack was white. The person who wrote the male privilege checklist was male. I think it's important that each person examine his or her own privilege and acknowledge what he or she has received. The whys attend naturally.
