Ha, ha, ha, ha - nice try but yeah, no! That sort of unwillingness to interface with reality is a huge part of your problem. Despite being a Black man in a white supremacist culture you still have literally thousands of privileges that women do not have - even the richest, most socially prominent women still have to face things on a regular basis that you never have to even consider (a big part of what privilege means). You live in a culture that was literally built by and for men, and even though that still advantages wealthy, white, heterosexual, able-bodied Christian men the most, it still advantages you in all sorts of ways that you don't even notice because they are so ubiquitous. Educate yourself around that and you'll stop feeling like you have to tell these kinds of stories.

Read Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez and Entitled by Kate Manne if you want to begin to understand how off base those beliefs really are.
