I've used both the terms "rape culture" and "privilege" before, hopefully in a responsible context, because I do understand the merit of what they represent. However, the trivialization that comes with their increased usage is a very real thing that I don't think gets taken into account by people who use "social justice language" all the time. If the whole idea is to give some semblance of understanding or a voice to people who feel or are victimized, it can quickly nullify the entire intent if it becomes so ubiquitous and trivial to use such a strong word as rape so often and expect the same weight to be carried.
