Privilege and disadvantage are both ways of looking at the ineqality in society. The problem is the shift of looking at inequality in terms of privilege rather than disadvantage. When you fight ineqality by fighting disadvantages, you are trying to lift people up, when you fight privilege, you are trying bring people down.
For instance, examples I have been given of my privilege is that I come from a stable two parent household and that I lived in a low violence neighborhood. If you are fighting my privilege, you are fighting stable households and safe neighborhoods?
You should be fighting the disadvantages of unstable households and violent neighborhoods.
