Think you're part of an oppressed demographic... try being a young white male

As a young white male I despair when I see other young white males playing the repressed victim card. Last time I told one to man up and they went full SJW on me, thus is the mindset of the Internet generation.

Maybe you should spend less time on the internet? I know people can be like that online, but I am yet to meet anyone that's like that in real life.

No one in real life will actually tell you you are these things you're saying you are OP

You seriously bought this thread back up to say that? Well all I can respond is yes, yes they will.

I can literally not have an opinion on anything these days without my race, gender and sexuality being insulted and given as a reason for my "disgusting views".

I think we should have more nuclear energy and it should have less strict safety regulations, but I'm a white man so I must a "capitalist fat cat".

I think that the recent shootings are a horrible tragedy, but I'm straight and white, therefore by speaking out about it I'm a homophobe oppressing the views of the LGBT community. I think that incidents like this should result in stricter gun control, but I'm white, so therefore it's clearly because I think the government should be able to form a dictatorship without citizens being able to fight back.

I think there should be equality between men and women, but if I claim to like the posters for the new x-men movies, it's not because I'm happy to see strong female characters go toe to toe with the big baddies. No, I'm a white male, therefore it's because I enjoy seeing and advocate violence against women.

It's becoming ****ing ridiculous and I can't see what I can do about it apart from stay silent on every issue, because seemingly no matter what stand-point I adopt my gender, sexuality and race will be used to try and paint me as a bad guy.

Now I'm sure this is going to garner a lot of responses claiming "oh, but you're not X therefore you don't understand how hard they have it". Yea, well X isn't me either, so they can **** right off.

In politics, journalism, business and nearly every other major industry, the opinions of White males dominate.

And I'm not saying that you don't have struggles of your own, every demographic does, but what your describing isn't exclusive to you and doesn’t prove that White males are not allowed to have an opinion. I have had people from other demographics (including White males) dismissing or trying to shut down any struggles that I mention. I have had comments like "well, if only your race/gender didn't do XYZ (as though we are all collectively responsible for one another), this wouldn't be happening.
