I think calling it a "privilege" is disingeuous myself. Almost all the 
stuff she talks about being a "privilege" is stuff that a politician 
would call "rights".  It's not a "privilege" to be treated fairly by the 
courts, or to be allowed to live without being hassled by your 
neighbors, or to avoid being beat up for no reason when you walk down 
the street.

The idea that you'd want to take these "privileges" away from someone in 
order to be "more fair" is absurd in my mind.
