    Being a white man really does seem tough. So glad someone wrote this article. https://wapo.st/2EUSVsR pic.twitter.com/9CGxb5XQ6D

        "but still" is the mating call of the nebulously upset white man

        *climbs on soapbox* BTW his 3rd sentence "...you would think I’ve been sitting on a trust fund " illustrates why IMO "privilege" should be replaced by "shield". It's not what we WM have, as much as its what we don't have to deal with.

        I've explained for years that privilege is something white kids think of as a bonus: watching tv on a school night, for example. We never discuss privilege as the absence of something. Like the absence of fear: knowing when you call the cops they are likely not to kill you.

        So, in other words, it's kind of like I'm "shielded" from worrying about cops killing me when I call them? And the main if not only thing us white adults think privilege means is $$$. It's an unwinnable argument.

        Ha! He doesn't get that bosses lie to white guys rather than saying "she was better for this job than you." Bosses want guys angry with a coworker, not with them. Millions of guys with grudges against women, POC, because bosses lie.

        He can only say that because we don't build separate cemeteries for women who die in childbirth

        We also don't build cemeteries for all the civilians who perish in war zones due to crossfire, starvation and disease. And last I checked, at least half of them are women. Probably more.

        Or the people whose healthcare and social services are starved by unfunded wars and a bloated military budget.

        Good god that was the most clueless manifesto of garbage I've ever read. I love how he recounts vivid examples of race and gender discrimination, then says, but I was passed over in the final interview stage for this one job then immediately got another job, so I'm a victim too.
