I'm surprised how many DU'ers think aknowledging white male privilege is somehow bigoted

95. um, have you never heard of a "pu**y check?"

Okay. I was guilty once, like Zora Neale Huston pretending ignorance of stoplights because she was African American, of exploiting the dumb blonde stereotype to get out of a speeding ticket.

However, there's a practice of cops pulling over young attractive females for supposed infractions just to get to bully a woman around for a while.

I never heard of the odious term until I was much older, but it finally explained to me why I was pulled for outrageous things in my teens and 20s (which mysteriously ended in my 30s forward). I particularly loved one male cop's excuse of my not "having a Town of Carrboro sticker" on my front right windshield, which turns out to have not been on the books.

But I probably wasn't at risk of being shot, like a black male, so relatively speaking non-violent sexual harrassment is the preferable problem to have.
