(cisgender heterosexual)

I see people on social media using it in a passive aggressive manner all the time...like their gender or sexuality is somehow relevant. These same people will bully the shit out of those groups of people, yet claim to be against hate speech. It makes no sense.

Even if "straight cis white male" is used in a pejorative sense, does it really upset you that much?

I reaaaally dislike the hypocrisy that radiates from the hardcore SJW crowd. I'm not even cisgender myself so it's not a matter of feeling personally attacked. It's just a stupid kneejerk reaction.

Yes, insulting someone based on their gender or sexuality is very stupid and will always be stupid.

it's only an insult because you're projecting the intent of how you sling around terminology yourself

Functionally it's not much different than being homophobic/transphobic. I know the latter two are MUCH bigger issues though.

There's this friend I have added on FB that makes it a point, when they have a bad encounter with someone, to specifically mention their gender and sexuality. It's just a complete non-sequitur.

Yeah fair enough. I'm not saying something should be done about it but it's still irritating. It's not gonna get those people to view anything differently, which honestly should be the goal.

The point is this person is using them being cishet as part of their reasoning for why the person was shit. Which is not necessarily related at all. People are just stupid period.

"I'm not even <obviously lying person claims to not be what they are>, BUT..."

Also, I remember a clip where some redneck dude in a diner was blaming something stupid on "woke." Like a battery shortage or something... no explanation, just said "woke" was to blame. TC has that same energy.

Alright:

The person made a post saying they put someone on snooze for complaining about the politics of "western white women". Their reasoning for this was specifically because he was a "cis het white guy", even though the OP actually agrees with him.

It's more likely that they were making the point that the cishet person hasn't experienced the type of discrimination and oppression that a non-cis or non-het person undoubtedly has, undoubtedly many times--therefore the cishet person's perspectives may not accurately reflect the reality that millions of non-cishet people know to be very real.

This could be the case a lot of the time yeah. I can accept that. The scenario I outlined above though, had nothing to do with discrimination at all.

Why does the person being cishet matter at all though, in this case? That's the part I'm not understanding. Especially since my friend actually agreed with him.
