Look. If you're a woman, you have lots of allies rooting for you to succeed in an industry and profession that's indisputably biased against you.

But especially as a white-presenting woman, maybe have the decency to not flaunt the exorbitant privilege -- not just socioeconomic and racial, but that of the multiple forms of affirmative action offered to you in certain corners -- as if it's a product of your effort or virtue.

This is a close kin to a mediocre white guy.

Appalling tone-deafness.
