You can call it as you like, but being vilified for one’s “privilege” while also not actually advancing from it…..can lead to frustration. It’s like being a Black dude who can’t dance, or a gay dude with zero fashion sense. People make assumptions about you because of what you look like or where you came from….and yet it’s not actually true. (Intentionally stereotyping here to point out hypocrisy….in case that’s not painfully obvious)

In your case, there is enough quantifiable evidence to prove that you DO have that fashion sense (with your $800 work shoes), and that you’re also a pompous, judgmental narcissist gaslighter.

But you are clearly very intelligent and I wouldn’t expect an easy victory if it came down to a verbal sparring match. You do have a sharp wit.
