Privilege
A right that only some people have access or availability to because of their social group memberships (dominants.) Because hierarchies of privilege exist, even within the same group, people who are part of the group in power (White people with respect to people of color, men with respect to women, heterosexual with respect to homosexuals, adults with respect to children, and rich people with respect to poor people) often deny they have privilege even when evidence of differential benefit is obvious.
