That can be... tricky, I guess. On the one hand, straight white women have historically benefitted way more from feminism than have WOC or LGBT people, and there are plenty of straight white feminists who do need to learn to shut up for a second when the subject is race or LGBT rights or any kind of intersectionality that they may not have experienced first-hand, because advocacy is important, but sometimes advocacy means letting those people speak for themselves. Talking over them is just entrenching a different power hierarchy.

OTOH, I don't get why that means an automatic dismissal of them as "straight white girls" as a whole, unless they are actively, stupidly discussing LGBT issues or race or something that white, straight ciswomen legitimately don't have experience with. I have never understood that kind of silencing, or why this means they should feel like shitty people or why SJWs get accused of having or trying to make people feel "white guilt"; it's not about feeling guilty. In fact, it has very little to do with your feelings and very much to do with other people's, you know? So you make a mistake, you learn from it, you apologize, and you move the fuck on with your new awareness and try not to do it again. Nobody tried to make you wallow in guilt. They just said, "Hey, could you quit that?"

On my third hand, the impression that I'm getting is that most SJWs *and* their detractors have a Wikipedia-level (at best) understanding of how various feminisms and other forms of activism actually work.
