What is unearned privilege anyway?

I see people use this term (sometimes shortened to privilege) But what does it mean in a broad sense? Are there different types of unearned privilege?

(Note that it's privilege not privileges.)

    Kind of like the luck of the draw. You were born into wealth (a privilege) or royalty (a privilege)

    Life itself is an unearned privilege.

    things that men have and women are jealous of.

    Because of my privileges, I'm superior, better and more powerful than all women.

    That's why women are jealous of me and look up to me - and it's why I look down on women and feel sorry for them.
