So many feminists* wonder why the word “privilege” evokes such an antagonistic reaction, but I think it’s clear: It’s a code word. Its only purpose is for like-minded people to know when they equally detest a particular aspect of some culture.
I think it would just speed things up if they simply asked white males to apologize at the outset of every conversation. That’s the sexist, racist bullshit they want, after all.
*I mean Internet, caricature feminists: an overwhelmingly vocal, illogical minority.

There are certain keywords in gender-issue debates that signal the end of all rational discussion: among them are ‘privilege,’ ‘patriarchy,’ and ‘rape culture.’
Anyone who uses these terms seriously has stopped thinking and is just reacting.
