My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

[Regina]

I use the word privilege because it has more impact, it pisses some people off, but that's exactly my intention - To create an impact

But do you not think that pissing people off has the opposite effect of getting people to listen though? This is part of the reason I think some people are struggling to take internet "SOCIAL JUSTICE!!!!" seriously.

"Pissing people off" isn't going to encourage people to listen to what you have to say, really it's just going to make them run a mile.

I can't see why we can't just discuss racism, sexism, homophobia and all other nasty-isms and phobias. They do need discussing, they haven't vanished and that was never my point. However, bloggers on these platforms seem incapable of going straight to the point on whatever the problem is. It has to go into this pissing contest of "I've had it more tragic than you". That's very difficult for any adult with good social skills to take seriously. It comes off self-pitiful, holier-than-thou and above all else petty. It's childish schoolyard mentality.

But it seems like whenever someone points this out, it's "oh this person is anti-feminist!" or "you are so privileged and you can't see your privilege!". I don't think seeing flaws in it is anti-feminist, I just think it's having your own opinion.

Otherwise I can generally agree with what you said. The concept of "privilege" and "intersectionality" are fine on paper like I said before, I just think there are flaws. It's an over-simplified view of the world, where two people with "identical" identities can have dramatically different experiences based on surroundings. These things don't happen in a vacuum.
