    The reasons _why_ something sounds illegitimate can be ideological. Every single woman could list off a number of things that have been said to her over the course of her life that would sound “fake” due to their horrific content, and relative to normative white male experience. “The most common thing I hear from other women is: ‘Oh the stories I’ll tell once I’m far enough along that I don’t have to worry about being shamed,’” Misogyny runs deeper than logic in much the same way other ideological constructs lead to cognitive biases.

I would venture to guess--and I could certainly be wrong--that you've also never experienced anti-black or anti-gay bigotry because you aren't either of those things, either. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. But you need to realize that the fact that it doesn't happen around you doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
