Ep. 10 | The Elements Of Privilege feat. Syd & Reeezy
Update: 2025-04-15
Description
On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandi B and special guests Syd and Reeezy (MESS Podcast) the hosts sit down for a layered conversation about privilege—what it looks like, who has it, and how it shows up in ways we may not always notice. From the jump, they offer a fresh perspective on privilege (02:51 ) and unpack the hierarchy of privilege (05:57 ) that exists in our society. They get into pretty privilege (08:47 ) and how it intersects with body image (11:58 ), before expanding the convo to include sexual orientation (15:05 ) and geographic privilege (17:56 )—acknowledging how where you live can impact your access and experience. From there, the dialogue moves to educational privilege and its impact (21:09 ), and the ways race plays into privilege (24:00 ), especially in media representation (26:54 ). The crew highlights the double standards that exist within these privileges (30:10 ) and reflect on how they show up day-to-day. They continue with a breakdown of male privilege (32:48 ) and explore how safety is perceived differently depending on race and gender (35:07 ). The convo also gives space to women’s privileges and societal expectations (36:50 ), as well as the double-edged sword of pretty privilege (39:20 )—how it helps in some ways and hurts in others. The group unpacks intersectionality and how privilege tests overlap (43:49 ), before diving into “woke” privilege and its role in activism and corporate spaces (46:57 ). They also touch on the often-overlooked privilege of articulation and effective communication (50:14 ), and the emotional weight behind male expectations (55:56 ). The episode closes with a final reflection on the hierarchy of privileges (01:00:31 ) and the importance of understanding how they all play a part in shaping our lives.
