BTW, one of the main issues with the "privilege" conceit is that it inherently assumes that rather than just being a jerk or wrong those who disagree with you are simply and helplessly IGNORANT by the simple fact of tho they are. That's a major portion of the definition of bigotry.
If you read all of what I said, it should be clear I grasp and understand these ideas, that they're not new to me. But you automatically jumped to the assumption I'm ignorant and just need to be educated to destroy my beliefs, without ever stopping to consider they might have any validity. How would you see me if I treated women that way? Clearly belief in privilege & the rape culture cause you to not give any man the benefit of the doubt in more ways than one.
