Privilege Grant Accepting Applications

Didn't open the joke link but in the 70's in Massachusetts, MassGovCo had a program called something like SEP. Not sure what the letters stood for except that it was a program to help employ children of lower income families with private employers. Say minimum wage was $4/ hour, half of that was paid by the State. My dad actually had a good career so my family didn't qualify. We had five kids though, my mom didn't work so weren't by any measure rich, and my parents told us to get jobs if we wanted more than an allowance of like $1/ week.

The first thing any employer would ask you if you applied for a job was "Are you SEP?" and of course I'd say no, so that was the end of the conversation.

My point is that I have never been the recipient of privilege, white male or otherwise. In fact just the opposite.

truth. Which is why this grant exists. There is a grant for women, blacks, chinese, etc. So Milo started this charity :)

Men are actually a suffering minority as well. Only 43% of college attendees are men. 57% women.
