At the Exploratorium, there's an interactive exhibit on privilege where you're given two beanbags representing the different weights people have to carry. One of them is 'I'm male' (lighter) vs. 'I'm female, trans, or non-binary' (heavier). There's a separate set about if your gender identity matches the one you had at birth.

Not sure how I feel. Just observing.

How effective are these sorts of interactive stunts for convincing people who haven't thought about privilege much before?

That's an unanswerable and probably purely theoretical question, given the museum location, but I am curious.

I assume the aim is not to educate/convince anyone, but to make the people putting on the exhibit feel good and holy, so I'd guess they've never commissioned research
