Nothing is ever gained by painting an entire people group the same way and going at straight, white men as a whole with the intent to attack or tear down is almost never constructive.

A straight, white man has as much control over his characteristics as any person, but they are afforded many societal privileges that others don't have and one of those privileges is that they generally don't have to be confronted with their privilege or acknowledge them.

That represents an opportunity for dialog and education. Not an opportunity for attack. Criticizing a straight white man for being privileged is like criticizing water for being wet. The straight white man can't control it. But with dialog they can at least acknowledge it.

Now the people who are stubbornly "white privilege doesn't exist" despite having had the concept explained to them. Criticize away. They had their shot and blew it.
