No, that's what the people who don't understand what "privilege" is (and ironically react vitriolically to it as the headline questions) project onto others because that's all the more they're able to comprehend about this issue because "I've never seen it; must not happen", etc.

Sometimes people disagreeing have "privilege." And sometimes the people they are disagreeing with have just got it wrong. Regardless of the existence of sexism, nobody gets a free pass for all their claims or complaints just because of their gender. That would indeed be a "privilege."
