As a white male you DO have white male privilege. Just because you don't recognize it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And how could you? It's all you've ever known?
Understand, this doesn't mean that no white male ever experiences a lack of privilege.
But you do have it. I don't know why this notion upsets you so much.

There is no such thing as white male privilege. This little conspiracy theory has been over-played at this point.

@Pikachu I watched part of it. I don't dismiss her experience as a woman or a man. But, it doesn't illustrate society at large; it represents her individual experience.

@MarkPaul

Yes, it is an case study in the life of a person who has experienced life as a man and as a woman.

So on what basis do you dismiss her experience? Because it is not compatible with the conclusion you have reached?
On what basis do you determine that this is NOT representative of society in general?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@Pikachu You're not paying attention. I don't dismiss her individual experience. On what basis are you extrapolating her reflection on every other human across every continent on earth? Since I know male white privilege doesn't exist for me, I know it can't possibly apply to "everyone" with white skin simply because of their skin color.

@MarkPaul

What makes you think i'm applying it to every single person?
By the same token, what makes you think that your experience applies to every single person?

My contention is in your so far unsubstantiated assertion that white male privilege is a conspirator.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@Pikachu No... my assertion is you are promoting a conspiracy theory.

[quote]On what basis do you determine that this is NOT representative of society in general?[/quote]

...implies you believe it is a subject of society at large that you are obviously backpedaling on now with typical lame-ass style.

In any case, it's just a made-up thing and to request that I prove to you something doesn't exist just takes your tedious boredom to a new unregulated low.

Um...the unavoidable premise of which is that white male privilege is a conspiracy theory. A premise i reject and which you have failed to demonstrate.

Ah...i've now read the rest of your post and i can see you're making this personal.
Please collect your composure and return later.

@Pikachu Or, never.
