I have a hard time dealing with my own privilege. I hate when I catch myself thinking or saying something sexist. It's especially awkward when I try to apologize to somebody who doesn't know that I've wronged them.
"So, I'm really sorry, I said that because I was thinking this really awful thing about you."
