This makes me want to distinguish among different kinds of privilege, as in this post:
Dominance is privilege that is harmful to other people and that no one should have;
Support is privilege that everyone should have, and is not on its own harmful to anyone else.
For instance: A habit of attempting to dominate conversations is internalized dominance, and actually being allowed to do so is external dominance; speaking up for oneself is a sign of internalized support, while actually being listened to is external support.
I think Jeff is (mostly?) talking about “support”, the kind of privilege that everyone should have.
