I apologize that your feelings have been hurt by the recognition of your privilege.

I'm sorry that nobody has taught you how to recognize your faults and react gracefully. However, I'm not sorry that you've been called out. Many of us are privileged and allow our privilege to shine through while those who are not as fortunate suffer because we do not want to admit our faults.

Those of us who are White, who are Cis-Gendered (look it up if you don't know, technology is a wonderful tool), those of us who are middle to upper-class, those of us who are Christian/Catholic, and so on.

Here's why your opinion articles about your resent just prove how laughable your ignorance is.

"I'm targeted because I'm skinny," no, you're not.

The body-positive movement does not exclude you, you're just not highlighted because you haven't been marginalized by main-stream media. And, no, your presence in the media has not decreased in any way, and you're not featured in commercials that advertise you as unhealthy or undesirable. I'm sorry that you may no longer be the center of attention, but if you're offended by that, you're still playing a huge part in combating the movement, not being an ally.

"I'm sick of my religious-based views against gay marriage/women's rights being seen as evil."

I'm sorry that your religious views aren't taken as seriously as they once were, but maybe it's time for you to step out of your narrow ideology that the bible rules the world. Your religious preferences are just that; YOURS. Do not try to marginalize yourself because Christianity is no longer the law of the land. Feeling ashamed of your morals and opinions suck, doesn't it? Your self-righteous views do NOT get to play a role in the lives and choices of others, especially when they don't concern you. Be an ally or be quiet. The rest of us are just trying to live our lives.

These are a couple of examples I see daily. If you are a part of the majority, do NOT use your privilege to undermine the hardships and struggles of others just because you feel that you've been targeted or called out. Cis-gendered men and women, specifically white, have the highest place of privilege on the face of this earth and are responsible for the marginalization of minority groups. In your place of privilege, it is important to remember that those outside of your group have suffered decades and centuries of discrimination and violence. As a key rule to life, remember that those who have done no harm have nothing to fear, and therefore will not be afraid to acknowledge their faults. If you are guilty of victimizing yourself because you or your state of being has been called out as a place of privilege, you only do yourself more harm in painting yourself as a, what have you been calling us?, oh, a "snowflake".

Suck up your pride, acknowledge your comfort in privilege, and get out of the way of those fighting for their own comfort.
