   Indeed.   
   Where can I tap into some of that white privilege the left keeps telling me   
   I should be embarrassed about?   
   I chose a career in a field that was male dominated and to some degree still   
   is.   
   My college professors would ask me why I chose engineering and I think it was   
   because a female breaking into the ranks of a male dominated field was a threat   
   to their masculinity. Just a theory of mine.   
   I had to work harder than my male coworkers simply to stay employed.   
   etc   
   So where is my white privilege membership card?   
   I worked my buns off to get where I am and if I can do it, anyone can.   
      
   It's one reason why I do not tolerate laziness, government grifting and a   
   refusal to work when capable of doing so.
