Don't Be Like Bill - Change Your Gender and Race!

I'm still waiting on my white privilege to kick in. Growing up in poverty and working my ass off to get out of it has been too hard.

I don't think I've ever posted anything here before, but I needed to share this experience with those who understand.

I generally don't let stuff like this get under my skin. Hell, I rarely even partake in conversations like this. But I hoped, for some reason, this would go better than those I'd seen online.

I just don't understand how a group of people could be so filled with hate that they don't understand they are being as bad as those they purport to hate.

Where is this "privilege" I'm supposed to have inherited? Because I've never once felt LUCKY to be a white male. I'm sick of feeling like the world's troubles are my fault. I'm sick of not being allowed to understand the pain of others.

I don't agree with this at all. But when I try to convey that, I'm lead to believe I'm just "brainwashed" and simply "don't appreciate how lucky I am". And, even IF that were true, it's still MY FAULT that I don't feel guilty for things I didn't do or have a choice in.

Thanks for hearing me out. I know many of you feel the same way. I appreciate the support as well.

Bill is an imaginary person. Funny thing in this arguement is that everyone is bill. Everyone is getting offended by what they see on the internet. Hypocritical part is the op who posted this then decided to argue with you. At least you're not nypocritical. Everyone can be bill, in that everyone is entitled to have their own opinon. Bill is just a made up character that applies to all people but i guess op was using him to attack affluent individuals who often white and male. Their claims have no validity what so ever.

Ironically enough my ex-girlfriends brother (er...now "sister".) Posted this on his/her/it's wall. When "she" was a he, he was the epitome of a "privileged" white male. His family wasn't rich, but in no way hurting for money, both him and his sister are privileged spoiled shits. He was bi, but you would never know it nor does it matter really as privilege is derived on outside appearances anyways) Suddenly he goes to college, and Now he's/she's/whatever a full blown mtf trans (still has the doodle) dating a ftm trans (still has the muffin box) and I completely believe "she's" swallowed all this PC bullshit in order to feel accepted and to be on the "winning" team. While I was dating he sister we where very close and his humor was lewd and non PC before the wave of Feministupidity became the in thing to do.

Your earnest responses to people like this are like blood in the water to a shark. It's what they WANT because it gives them another opportunity to "punch up" and then post a ~~mostly fabricated~~ embellished story on Tumblr about how they totes took down another Facebook misogynist.

I've learned the best response is just mockery. Sure you come off as a bit of a douche, but they come off as fucking bonkers when they lose their shit.

I like how these SJWs take it upon themselves to gender Bill. How do they know Bill is a "cishet white man"? How do they know Bill isn't a black man? How do they know Bill isn't homosexual or trans?

"Yer peeing in my sandbox. Go away."

Fair point, IMHO. They don't want to be challenged, they just want their hugbox. Sometimes best not to engage.

Eh, it kinda sounds like your went into that looking for a fight. You're not going to win anyone over with that technique. The best thing to do is to ask questions. Such as "Would this picture still be applicable if Bill was black, or if Bill was Betty?" Questions get people to think and allows them to come to their own conclutions without the answer being shoved down their throats.

I guess im a fucking unicorn because as a bisexual, black, not terribly financially secure guy I just don't get offended by shit

This is a sub for gender issues. Race discussions are off-topic.
