Oddly specific.
Having lunch at the university canteen, with some people I know, including the Union's LGBT officer (let's call him Bob). Discussion turns to a pair of guys who have decided to run as Women's Officers with the slogan "Death to Men" and generally making fools of themselves and getting booed off the hustings, when Bob comes out with:

"Gah, bloody white, middle-class, cis-gendered, straight men"
Out of us all, I'm the only one fitting that. Cue mock offence.
"Yeah, that would be... me. I'll just go and be hated in that corner over there shall I?"
*Bob looks embarrassed*
"Gah, bloody white, middle-class, cis-gendered *anti-feminist* men"
"You could have just said 'jerks' you know."

Jerks are everywhere, and it sucks to get lumped in with them. Bob's so far from the sort of "I am minority, you're one of THEM stop getting me DOWN" fool that gives any group a bad rep, but it's easy to see how you can head that way when idiots troll so well, but acceptance isn't loud.

Also, I'm prejudiced against Computer Science academics because not one of them can communicate in plain English. Send them all back where they came from and keep them out of biology courses.
