Privilege.

When met with people who say you have such-and-such privilege when referring to your race, sex or sexual orientation say, candidly, "Go fuck yourself."

When people say the LGBT face persecution, say, "In America? In the past. Now? Not so much. But hey, the Muslim extremist are coming after you. But if you think you got it bad Christians were persecuted in droves in the Middle East in the past few years and national newspapers didn't give a shit."

When a bisexual who is married to a straight says a part of her is "invisible" because not everyone knows she's a bisexual say, "Okay ... Do you want privacy or do you want recognition? Make up your damn mind. Oh wait, you want society to support same-sex mirage just in case you want to marry a woman. Make sure you tell your husband that in case you want to leave him for a woman. I mean, you sound like an elderly with breathing problem who needs accommodations when flying. Or worse, a vegetarian or vegan."

When people say women are met with sexism say, "Look, I got standards. If the woman is taking birth control I'll wonder why. Most likely it isn't for medical reasons which the pill so happens to bestow on the woman. It's probably because she wants to have sex without the consequence aka baby. And if you got a sizeable chest and it shows it'll be hard for me to keep my eyes above your collar bone. Just sayin'."

When people say that voter ID laws create barriers and infringe on the poor and minority "rights" say, "The perceived hardships of obtaining the documents to get an ID is bullshit. If poor takes three buses and walks 1 mile to work then I'm sure he can also find the means to gather the documents to obtain an ID."

When people say the dark pigment of their skin makes them targets of cops say, "Well, if your demographic didn't cause so much shit in residential neighborhoods you wouldn't be profiled. Look at Asians. Sure, some cheat on standardized tests, but damn, they have perfect attendance. You should probably take a page out of their book."

When people say you're privileged because of the amount of money in your bank account say, "You're right. And I like it that way."
