Yeah, you can extend this out to so many things. Being a male, I have the privilege of not being sexually harassed at work like many attractive women do. I had the privilege of growing up with two parents who didn't abuse me (mentally or physically).
But I think to answer tarcone's original post, it's just understanding in life where you may have had an advantage over others. That doesn't make you a bad person, you can't control it. But you can show empathy for those and understand it's harder to make it in certain situations.
