White Men on Twitter Use Really Confusing Hashtag to Show White Male Privilege Is Fake

White men on Twitter have been posting photos of themselves lying face down on the ground in mock apology for "white male privilege," Vocativ reports.

Gavin McInnes — the Vice Media co-founder and noted transphobia apologist who once said women are responsible for the gender pay gap and that feminism has made them "less happy" — sparked the trend using the hashtag #TakeUsDown last week.

Many questions arise from this campaign: Why is this man in a dumpster? Why is this man in a bathtub? Why is this man planking? Maybe it doesn't actually matter — as long as people on white supremacist forums keep referring to the hashtag as "funny, fair and actually brilliant," it's all good.

It's admirable that McInnes has taken a firm stance on such a hot-button issue, and that so many have come to his assistance. Everyone is now breathlessly awaiting his next opinion.
