Not thinking is one of their privileges. After all, in every system of domination, the dominant group knows only about themselves, while the members of the subordinate group know about their own lives as well as the lives of the dominant group members. So, those with the most power have the least information about how other people live. If straight people were forced to think about and be accountable for their behavior toward us, they would have to justify their actions. And that would be pretty hard to do.
