At some point in my life I think I have heard of all these privileges men had in some form or another. They are so simple, but when thinking about it in a woman’s view it makes such a difference on how people view you as a woman. I think it’s that privileges exist based on one’s sex. If there are going to be privileges it should be based on something equally fair for all, which is pretty difficult. So instead everyone should have the same privileges without the stereotypes and discrimination tagged along with it.

            The one privilege I envy that men have from this list is the one about how men can go to a dealership or mechanic can assume they will not get taken advantage of. I personally always go with my older brother or dad when I go get the oil changed on my car because I think they will try to rip me off because they will assume I am a girl and don’t know anything about cars. I don’t know about cars, but that doesn’t mean that just because of my sex I should be taken advantage of financially. Instead of brother or dad taking my car themselves, I go because I want to learn how be in a situation like that by myself.

            It’s so sad to see students criminalized for being undocumented. It just sucks so much that this country of opportunity would do something to people who have contributed to society. If they arrived at a young age and grew up over here, they’re pretty much American; it’s just that they weren’t born here. These are smart people who deserve the chance to advance in the United States if they so choose. It shouldn’t be robed from them. It’s like robing a child from his/hers innocence.

            I admire the bravery these young people have and the passion they have for their cause. I was reading the comments to the video and I just couldn’t understand how people could be so insensitive and cruel after hearing such emotional testimonies. They’re “reasons” were invalid and just plain out ignorant. I don’t understand what makes an American citizen so much more worthy of whatever the United States offers, instead of someone who is not a citizen but has grown up their whole life here and contributed to the economy. What is this big difference??
