John really, really loves pulling the "I'm a woman, therefore my opinion is inherently more valid than yours" card, doesn't he? It's like he's finally getting back at the world for no doubt getting bullied for many, many years. It's brilliant, really. Every time someone disagrees with him, he can just say, "You're disagreeing with me because of your white male privilege, and if I'm correct then I can also accurately predict that you will defensively reply to this," so he wins either way: if you reply, then it proves that you are an insecure white male, and if you don't reply, then it's because you know that he's right and have been cowed into submission.
