I'd say the charitable interpretation is that the poster believes that 'male' is salient because males are generally more clueless in regards to grocery shopping. From experience I'd agree that this is a correct observation, but perhaps a risky one to make considering recent discussions (among other things). Again though, the charitable interpretation is that the poster did not really think about this statement too much, did not intend to cause offense, and might be quite open to the viewpoint that men are actually great at grocery shopping and assuming otherwise - however harmless it may seem to some people - is to be avoided. I can't speak for anything else but I've become convinced that I should assume the charitable interpretation. If even writing this is considered an example of 'privilege' or sweeping real issues under the table, I truly and honestly want this to be pointed out and I'll seriously consider it in the progression of my personal views on these matters. This is a bit of a sidenote, by the way, and not a direct response to your comment. I've just been thinking a bunch about all this lately, and your comment seemed a good a place as any to express myself :).
