I was bullied as a kid for being a science nerd and now I am lectured for the "privilege" of having had those experiences by the same crowd of people who perpetrated them. I get it, now I have the "privilege" of being bullied as an adult for being a "white" "male." That's life, I guess.

The author of this piece is bullying you for being white and male? And they're the same sort of person that bullied you as a kid for your interest in science?
