> Maybe I have a different perspective on privilege because I'm fat and ugly, and only the attractive white men get it, or something. But seriously, if I have privilege, how do I take advantage of it? Is there something I have to do to make it happen? Because I'd sure like to see it since everybody tells me I have it.

Playing "Oppression Olympics" is a common derailing tactic, just FYI. Your personal experiences don't change the difficulties that women face in tech.

Searching for a Geek Feminism Wiki term to apply to my argument, so you can minimize it and mock it once it's categorized in its little box? Your comment reminds me of those people -- and I've seen this in person -- that hit Wikipedia's "list of fallacies" looking for a fallacy to point out since they can't come up with a decent counterpoint on their own. Your comment history tells me all I need to know about my expectations of reasonable discourse with you. You might as well rename to GeekFeminismWikiSearchBot, but that username wouldn't fit on Hacker News.

"Oppression Olympics" wasn't remotely what I was doing, and if you took the time to read it carefully, you'd see that. Particularly and emphatically the portion that you took the time to quote. (Hint: "You say I have privilege and I don't see it" is not even on the same page of the map as "I go through more than you do". I was presenting a "maybe" scenario to explain away my not seeing privilege, not saying "good Lord the world hates me because I'm ugly, how dare you feel bad for having a vagina!")
