Got that? Because...
Sexually attractive people attract more sex, for better or worse. Less attractive, and you attract less. Same rules of the game for both players. This is not a "special right or immunity" being "granted". Both the hotties and the blobs are playing by the same rules.
People who build valuable things get to keep their valuable things, the same as people who produce low-value things. This is not a "special right or immunity" being "granted". Both the more-productive and the less-productive follow the same rules.
Therefore, leftists use the word "privilege" to mean any advantage, even advantages that people worked hard to earn.
Planning to eat a healthy diet, get fit, keep clean and tidy? No, instead you should Check your privilege: you're trying to gain an "advantage...available only to a particular...group", that group being attractive people.
Planning to get an education, work at your craft, avoid temptation, and produce things that people value? No, instead you should Check your privilege: you're trying to gain an "advantage...available only to a particular...group", that group being productive people.
My Chemical Romance learned to play their instruments, how to read and write poetry, they practiced, they persisted, and they produced things that people value (for some reason). As a result they have an advantage over say, me if I dusted off my attic-ukulele and announced I deserve to be the headliner at Woodstock 2020 or whatever. Should I tell MCR to check their privilege, because they're oppressing me?
Imagine playing a game of chess with no privilege, meaning no advantages that can be gained while playing a game. No pieces can be taken - this would give someone an advantage. No advantageous positions can be held, no advantageous formations can be formed.
Nothing would happen in that game. It would be total stagnation, just like what happens to the economies and cultures of countries run by leftists.
