And yet you were extremely dismissive and evasive when called out on your male privilege.

I can understand this sort of thinking coming from a four year old but you're a fucking adult. You know sexism exists, you know racism exists, you may think you have no experience with them but you damn well know they are a thing. You cannot know that isms exist (even if you are privileged enough to think they aren't a huge deal) and still think that all people are being treated equally, those are two mutually exclusive things.
