Amy Schumer nails why privilege isn't the same thing as respect for women

Comedian Amy Schumer's reflection on the unexpected consequences of privilege is a great reminder of how women were historically mistreated, no matter how high on the social ladder they lived.

Schumer plays a lowly peasant who is suddenly turned into a princess by a member of the royal court, played by fashion guru Tim Gunn:

Gunn enters the home where Schumer, with dirt on her face, is told the seemingly good news:

She initially welcomes the news, presumably as a reference to the fact that marriage was much more popular, and mandated for many royal families throughout world history:

But privilege isn't the same thing as respect, as Amy discovers when she is told she is going to meet a prince to marry him.

The prince (played by Amy) is actually her cousin, which disgusts her:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
