I’m friends with some women who put this on me recently. I didn’t go ballistic but let it be known it was false and had to listen to their defense of their statements. Comments were made and there was an attempt to Mae it sound we ave a red carpet laid out for white males everywhere.

I raised myself. The sperm donor split after birth and the mother was an alcoholic and an abuser, and she was relatively non-existent in my childhood. When I started working at ten years old she blackmailed me for money regularly. Threatening eviction, electricity or phone shutoff if I didn’t cough up dough for the monthly bills.

Fast forward to the working world. I’ve had 3 female managers, 2 Caucasian and one African-American who were all tyrants. In the workplace it was hostile working conditions, retaliation, all the stuff in your HR rules that are not allowed. But since they were women any man complaining to anyone about this behavior was discarded comments, and the male was the problem. One instance of this led to fucking up my career for almost ten years. I don’t want to go into the specific details but I was forced out after not accepting her dominion and slave owner type mentality. This led me to taking whatever I could get in the form of employment to survive for 10 years. It took a full decade to get back into having a position doing what I want to do for a living and now excelling.

Has anyone else been hit with this shit that has had a hard life? I cannot be alone. This PC, SJW behavior has run amuck. I had no control of my skin color, my gender, or sexuality. I’m a straight white male and now I have friends, sorry ex-friends, hitting me with this bullshit. When you’ve had a very difficult life with no family, put yourself through college, raise yourself, and generally work for every damn thing you have with blood sweat and tears, it feels like a knife in the back.

have white male privilege

You're exempt if you are married as it ceases upon taking of thou vows.
FWIW, it applies to all colors.

Ask her what her selective service number is.

No sense getting too worked up about it. You're white, and you're male so you're wrong.

If you try to demonstrate otherwise, the goalposts will just get moved. Smile, nod, and move on with your life. They can revel in their own misery without you.

I might be inclined to reply "Yes I do and I'm lovin' every minute of it!" and watch their heads explode

Friends?...I think not...

Move on...you know where you came from...don't take any shit from anyone.

Those aren’t “friends”.

Tell them to go fix you a sandwich.

When I'm talking to feminists, I tell them that I support equal rights for women: Except they shouldn't be permitted to (1) vote or (2) drive motorized vehicles. That usually provokes a reaction of some kind.

How do they feel about their 1st world priveledge? By simply having the priveledge of living in the US at this point in history they have an advantage over the vast majority of the world's population, of every gender and color, when it comes to any measure of potential economic or social mobility.

Now that's a real good point...if they had this so called "privilege" would they try to wash it off or give it back...fuck no!

If someone is born wealthy, do they expect them to give it all away and work at McDonalds?

There are plenty of things I am not...should I define my life by bitching about those things and shitting on those that have them?...NO

So what if I'm born white....life is not fair.

Take the hand your dealt and play the game...

Anyone who credits your position in life to privilege without knowing how you got there is ignorant. Anyone who knows the story you told and calls you privileged is malicious. Consider minimizing your interactions with people who are ignorant or malicious -- life is too short for self-flagellation.

Yeah & socialism rewards the bottom feeders. Remind them you’ve had the privilege of working hard for everything you have & must have missed the trumpets and red carpets along the way!

They’re not your friends. Only a spoiled racist and sexist brat who has never been outside this country would ever utter such drivel in America.

They’re ignorant and judgmental. And they’re probably white.

In Oregon?

As I said, ex-friends. I have had a damn hard life yet I am not bitter and knew as a child, work hard, money doesn’t choose race or gender. Adapt or die. And I have experienced more hostile working conditions from female management than male. I’ve been either unlucky or many female managers are man hating......I want them to bow down and have ownership types. Some of them trip on having male reports. But not all.

Yes they knew bout my childhood so yes it is malicious. I’m done with them.

You should’ve asked the genius to start a petition to end women’s suffrage

High 90% of these people are lemmings regurgitating PC nonsense (eg white privilege) that they don’t know what it means. They’re also typically “educated” but poorly educated so they have no idea women’s suffrage is the right of women to vote.

Yeah, well if there is a next time ask them if they wipe their ass with just their hand? They will probably look confused and then pissed. Say something like, what does that have to do with anything. Press them, "well do you?". When they respond. Of course not. Then tell them you don't either. So we are good. And then turn and walk away.

Martin L King would be ashamed.

Where can I cash in on this elusive "white privelege"? I'm tired of busting my ass working two jobs, just so I can live in a decent house, in a safe neighborhood that is NOT "diverse".

Fucking white liberals made that shit up. Sick of hearing about how "priveleged" I am. Regards 18DAI
