I'm flattered you signal-boosted, and sorry you got slammed. Good luck with the These lists of "privileges" exist to make people aware of their unexamined assumptions thing. Pardon me if I don't jump into the fray, but I don't really think I'll end up producing useful conversation.
(Interesting how one of the common reactions to the subject of privilege is for people to defend their victimizations. "No, no, I'm not privileged - in fact, I'm a victim! Look!")
We now return you to your regularly scheduled snark-free day.
