So, I can't call out racism when I see it? Can't call out misogyny in a conversation with only men in it? Can't call out oppressive language in any circumstance

So, I can't call out racism when I see it? Can't call out misogyny in a conversation with only men in it? Can't call out oppressive language in any circumstance unless I am directly effected by it? No, I don't think that's the way it works, and it's not the way it should work. I hit the privilege lottery: I'm white, male, able-bodied, middle class, American. If I'm unwilling to call oppression what it is, I'm empowering the oppressive behavior.
I believe my request was polite and stated without malice or (much) judgment. I would ask you to consider where your desire to argue with that request comes from.
