Society may be saying these things, but society is pretty fucking stupid sometimes. I would argue though that any mis-characterization of white, cis-gendered, straight men is greatly swamped by the negative stereotypes associated with other social groups. While you take exception with idealizing people like us as "normal" because of your perceived negative effects on people like us, I ask you to consider what it is like to be considered "abnormal" by society.
But regardless, what feminists ask is that those who are white, cisgendered, straight, educated, able-bodied, etc. etc. is that we constantly check our privilege. Being the "normal" has EXTREME privileges that we can't even begin to understand completely, since we have never fully experienced the barriers that other groups of people have.
