Straight white males may not face homophobia, granted, but they do face hate crimes, they do face sexism and they also face plenty of struggles. Just like everyone else.

You've just illustrated my point... whataboutery.

Nobody said sexism, racism and homophobia are the only things people face....YOU just brought that up.

Just as anytime those issues or discussions are raised are met by "But I go through this...." as though having a victim complex and can't just accept that in some ways you are more fortunate to be born one way rather than another.

EVERYONE goes through things, but a white person bleating about how hard done by they are by having white skin or a straight person about the difficulty they face due to their sexuality or a man about the sexism they face is actually gross.

Can a white person face racism? Yeah sure. Can a straight person receive abuse for being straight? Probably. Do men ever hear derogatory things about their gender? Yes.
Does that mean straight white men are a sidelined minority in society who face these discriminations at every turn in life? No it bloody doesn't.
