I can honestly say I've never been told to 'Check my Privilege'. "Check Your Fly"!?!? Absolutely. Privilege? No.

You are telling me that Dollar stores actually sell out those nasty chemical treats?

That's a bigger story imo.

135. Complete bullshit that being a manlet vs being a man is only a difference of 20 points. A 35 would better describe the suffering and discrimination I must face on a daily basis.

On the gender question, it had an option called Cis. What does that mean? I had to select it because I wasn't any of the other ones...

Interesting. I guess this is the new veiled racism. Sort of like saying you're one of 'those' people.

What "check your privilege" really means

Great rationalization. I'm judging your opinion condescendingly solely on your appearance. You're an overprivileged undeserving a-hole, but I mean it in the most polite way possible. lol?

If someone said this to me they had better be willing to talk for at least an hour. I suspect this phrase is merely asshatry obfuscated by white guilt and a veneer of institutional race baiting.
