I clearly under-estimated the number of strong, independent, brave and diverse women that post on this site.

I guess you did.

However, I did not under estimate the number of entitled, tone-deaf, cis/het, privilege-blind, white dudes that there would be on this site. LOL!!

PS - 1) This comment is not aimed at anyone in particular 2) Some of my best friends are cis/het white dudes

Geez. Talk about proving my point.

It was meant in jest, or as Joel would call it "a bit of good natured ribbing".

Just because you're a cis/het white dude - doesn't mean you're overly entitled or priviledge-blind.
Any similarities between oneself and the intended target is entirely up to the reader to infer or refute.
No offence was meant except to those that choose to infer it, based on the aforementioned similarities.

No offense taken.  I'm an American guy that likes girls, not a "cis/het white dude", so it's fine.

It's funny how people like to label others with politically charged terminology when simple English will suffice and be more accurate.

FALSE, on three counts in a single sentence. 1) Cisgendered is more accurate and specific then "guy". 2) Heterosexual is more "accurate" and specific than "likes girls". 3) It's only "politically charged" if you've mistakenly inferred your gender, sexual orientation, and skin color as an insult. None of those should seem insulting to you unless you think cisgendered heterosexual white males are somehow "lesser than" anyone else - which they ARE NOT. So there's no need to get all upset and act like you're the victims of oppression.   

You can be a guy and not be cisgendered. You can like girls and not be hetrosexual. Calling someone cis/het is no more politically charged than calling someone homosexual, lesbian, gay, queer, bisexual, asexual, trans, fluid, or non-binary. I can't believe it's 2021 and some of you people still need all of this spelled out to you. 

TLDR: Neither "Cis/het" nor "white dude" are slurs, and they were never intended as insults. So you can stop playing the victim card. Never be ashamed of who you are, only about how you act (or react).

Thanks for coming to my ted-talk.

What I love about the internet is anonymity. It doesn't matter who or what you are, we're all truly equal. I for example am an apache helicopter, but that doesn't even matter here because we're all the same.

You have no point.  I hope you see how unwelcome opening up this can of worms is on this forum when you literally have EVERY OTHER CORNER of the internet available to you.  Please review what subforum you are in and post appropriately.

My original post was

"Has anyone watched The Critical Drinker's youtube videos? Personally I am a big fan. Also Brandon Tenold has a new video out this week reviewing the weird 'Hell comes to Frogtown'."

You are one strange dude.
