TITLE: no, I won't check my privilege
POST: I am so incredibly sick of the constant social-awareness nonsense that has come out of my generation (i.e. anyone who is between 18 and 30 and has access to the Internet). 

I get that social awareness issues are important and I think that a lot of them have very valid points, but I swear that people go out of their way to LOOK for misogyny and privilege and ageism and all of these things just to have something to harp on. 

I recently lost a friend because he felt that I didn't take a strong enough stance on privilege-related issues and I almost went through the roof because I literally just never discuss them because there isn't a way to have a conversation about them without a right-fighter jumping on and tearing down every social institution and person within that institution for being this or that. I am unable to even be phased by the fact that I lost my friend over this because if someone doesn't want to be in my company because I don't search for things to get up in arms over and harp on, they're more than welcome to walk out of my fucking life.
TL;DR: 
I respect that there is social injustice and something needs to be done, but you can find injustice in ANYTHING if you look at it hard enough and no one takes the boy who cried wolf seriously.
