Hey Elli! Great job starting this page! Starting something from scratch is definitely a process. I like the direction you're going, using gender privilege and comparing it to white privilege. I think you could do a little bit more with that. I know there is a white privilege page that you referenced, but even in your overview, maybe talk a little bit more about white privilege and how it has helped create the idea of body privilege and gender privilege. Then I think you have some good stuff on the gender privilege section, but if you can do even more on that, it would be super powerful. There is so much out there to be said about it, and I think you have definitely hit on some good stuff. Aside from that, just switch your citations from APA to the wiki form, and I think it looks great! (Annieee95 (talk) 04:07, 26 April 2016 (UTC))[reply]

I have slightly edited the page in order to appear slightly less biased and more similar to how an encyclopedic entry should be. Unfortunately, I still have some issues with the references, as the reliability of the sources is slightly iffy. It appears as though this article is going to take a turn towards Body privilege mostly in relation to women, although I believe that it is a legitimate issue that affects both men and women. Theyre the only issues i have with this article, hope it keeps getting improved as it has been so far! 80.111.217.91 (talk) 03:21, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Wikipedia is a work in progress so reference issues are pretty much expected. While I agree that this concept applies to everyone, if reliable sources tend to focus on women, the article should tend to focus on women, also. In this case I suspect there are sources about other people, also, though, but finding them is the first step. By the way, new talk page sections go at the bottom of talk pages.
