| A recent meme on tumblr: "It was my privilege". Basically, a satire of the [[feminist]] habit of seeing male privilege and oppression everywhere.

| {{quote|Doing some grocery shopping.<br>
| |
| Walk through the store, notice a small woman stacking the shelves, farther down my aisle.<br>
| |
| As I come near she falls from her stair as she tries to put something heavy on the top shelf, the goods going to the floor.<br>
| |
| She notices me and shrinks back slightly before being paralyzed with fear.<br>
| |
| Her eyes widen as I come closer, pupils shrinking as I reach for the goods.<br>
| |
| Her lip trembles as I pick up the box and put it on the top shelf, no stair required.<br>
| |
| I reach my hand out to help her up, and tears well up in her eyes.<br>
| |
| “T-thank y-you”, she says, as she takes my hand and gently pull her to her feet.<br>
| |
| Men are grinning at me, someone starts the slow clap, as all the other women look at her with scorn and pity at the same time.<br>
| |
| I bare my teeth in a mischievous grin, and she begins to sob softly.<br>
| |
| I continue my shopping under raucous applause.<br>
