But how are straight white men being suppressed? What makes this even more baffling is that white straight males are being “suppressed” in fields that are still largely dominated by straight white males. It's like you're assuming that when group is fighting for proper representation in a field it somehow means that the group currently in power loses out. Imagine how silly it would sound if black rappers started talking about how they can't properly voice their opinions when Eminem started getting famous

I already made it clear that it's about double standards of whats acceptable conduct. Can a straight white male say and do everything a minority can in media with the same results? Can a straight white male openly celebrate being part of an all straight, white male movie for example, without negative consequence? 

Straight white males did openly celebrate being straight white males for the longest time and we have hundreds of years of bigotry, racism, sexism, ect as proof of that. The fact that minority and feminist groups can celebrate their simple existence and push causes that are specific to them is a result of living in a culture that formally had more respect for straight white males than any other group. In a perfect world this divide of who can and can't say or do certain things wouldn't exist but this isn't a perfect world and you're looking at the byproduct of that.
