I have the experience of being a biped, too. — Jackson
Good. You concede you "have the experience of being a biped." Biped - that's one quality you possess. You have other qualities too: maleness and whiteness.
The burden is on you to explain how you manage to "have the experience of being a biped" while not having the experience of being white and male. All three are qualities you possess. — ZzzoneiroCosm
Every post you’ve made so far reveals your self righteousness. — DingoJones

Having personal experiences of any kind and being able to communicate what that experience was like just isn't that easy to do well. — Bitter Crank
