Can a straight, white male liberal ever truly suffer at the hands of our culture?

I want to determine if, in general, liberals harbor any preconceived notions about liberals who are white, male and straight. One of those possible preconceptions is if the general population of liberals, democrats and progressives think straight white male liberals can truly suffer just as much as any minority group at the hands of our culture and society.

In my estimation, a lot rides on the answer because I think it effects the quality of the interaction straight white male liberals can expect from other liberals but also their ability to have their suffering (if indeed they can suffer) addressed.

Edit: I just want to add that this thread is not even intended to call attention to white, male straight "issues" nor take attention away from the LBGT, women or minority communities and issues. It's intention is to determine if there is any social consequence to being a white, straight male liberal interacting with the liberal community.

P.S. I will bump this for the afternoon (12:00 EST) and after dinner (7:00 EST) crowd to make sure we get a good sample of Duers. And then I'll comment on the results. Maybe I'll let it go for a few days to get a good sample from all the times zones, as well.
