91. sorta missed the point though

as I have said before.

What you call "identifying privilege"

I call "insulting straight white males".

Your perspective is that it is not an attack. My perspective is that it is.

My point being, if you want to talk about the way various groups are discriminated against, then I COULD be an ally.

If, on the other hand, you want to "identify" the ways that straight white males are privileged, then you are going to get that resistance.
