The effects of race privilege tend to be generational. Chances are your parent(s) are the same race you are. Any disadvantage they feel you also feel to a certain extent. Most people are also the product of a male and female which means any effect of gender privilege tends not to be generational. A person with a grandmother who was denied the right to vote is just as likely to be male as female. A descendant of a slave does not have the same probability of being white or black. When you see someone conflating race privilege with gender privilege there's a pretty good chance they are either being disingenuous or they just don't have much substance to offer.
