Social Justice Warriors have found a new thing to be upset about: the institutional oppression that introverts endure because “this culture has been built for extroverts” and that gives them “social privilege.” No. I’m not kidding. It’s a thing, and apparently such a big thing that an Everyday Feminism contributor named James St. James felt the need to write a whopping 1,700-word piece about it, titled “6 Examples of How Extroverts Benefit From Their Social Privilege.”
In plain language, those six “privileges” are:

Ever since this privilege thing started I thought it was funny. I can tell you about a few other “privileged” groups:
1. Not fat.
2. Physically attractive
3. Good physical health
4. You had good parents (and they stayed married)
The “Fairness” gene in liberals has been allowed to grow so grotesquely large that it is about to explode.
There is a reason the bible does not really talk about fairness (excpet in a couple of places telling judges to judge “fairly”). The word is mind bogglingly subjective.
“THAT”S NOT FAIR!” is the shout of a spoiled brat, not any kind of adult.
I'm starting to get pi$$ed off.
Anyone who thinks they will ever be able to sit back and take a breath in peace by constant concessions to these people, just hasn’t lived long enough. They will come up with a new “victim” group which must not be offended and to which everyone else (except other victim groups) must now concede. The beast of burden who pulls the freight of this country gets more overburdened all the time. But someday there will be that straw...
Love your tagline.
Next your gonna tell me that good lookin’ chicks get free drinks in bars! Oh the humanity! Geez, some people aren’t happy unless their wining about something.

At this rate, I’m probably going to get a massive skull fracture by next Wednesday!

There is nothing worse then being in a group of shy people. No one wants to make the first move. It makes a Quaker Meeting seem loud and rambunctious.
Save the Extroverts!
1. Not having to “forsake your basic needs” like food and going to the bathroom
2. Not having to leave a store empty-handed because you can’t find what you need after looking for several hours and are too afraid to ask an employee.
3. Not “risking bodily harm” because you walk so fast in order to get away from the crowd
4. Being able to find a job more easily,...being able to socialize.
5. Being able to make friends more easily
6. Not having to be as tired as introverts are all the time because having to be around other people
Thanks to the folks you just described, I have developed a life philosophy that consists of a mere three words: it’s never enough. All you can do is give it your best shot, and keep your faith in God.
Smart people enjoy intellectual privilege over stupids.
Stupid people enjoy intellectual privilege over very very stupids.
Yeah, the National Anthem will need to be changed from “O say can you see?” to “Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme...”
Lord, they need to find a job... a hobby... anything.
I am finally in a protected class!
Where is my money?!?!?!
Your last four words are the only answer I have to keep going.
I suggest mobilizing against Social Warrior Privilege, and the oppression that us non-social-warriors experience.
Exactly.
Reparations for introverts.
Where do I sign? (and can I do it online, so I don’t have to mingle?)
Point 2: "X privilege" is simply the latest incarnation of antisemitism, which is simply envy by outside groups of the success experienced by a people group that adheres to a certain value system that then outside group rejects.
