> I am privileged in that I understand machines, art, language, and education. Those privileges have directly and indirectly resulted in almost every success I've ever had. I am a white professional man.

That's amazing. You understand machines, art, language and education and no work was required to gain this understanding? It was just given to you? Or was there a few thousand hours of study and practice involved? Some stability in the home life? Encouragement from parents? All of the above?

> Now you know one. And you probably know many others, if you'd come at this discussion from a position of understanding rather than from a position of defiance.

My defiance is because the author has quoted only feminists and cucked men. It's biased and needs to be called out.

> What would someone who doesn't even seem to understand the concept of cultural privilege have to add to a discussion about cultural privilege?

I am well aware of the cultural superiority of western civilization. Nothing else even comes close. But I'm certainly not going to be guilt-tripped about it by some Rothschild publication.

Have we not asked you before and again to post civilly and substantively? We ban accounts that won't do this.

Huh? If you could point out the uncivil bits, that would be helpful.
