A common feminist behavior: no counterparts in other issues like race/orientation?

Responding to feminist accusations of how horrible "men" are by pointing out that you're a man and you don't fit their description is likely to get the response that you just said "#notallmen", which apparently is inherently bad (somehow). More generally, countering any feminist claim of any kind in any way is likely to get you accused of "#mansplaining". So the objection is not to the specific nature of any given opposing argument, but to the fact that it opposes a feminist's claims at all; opposing arguments are to be universally dismissed not for flaws in their contents, but just for the sin of even existing.

But I can't think of having seen anything equivalent to "#whitesplaining" or "#straightsplaining" or "#notallwhites" or "#notallstraights". Have you? Or is this approach unique to feminism?

The closest I can think of is "Privilege!", but that's not specific to any non-feminist issue; it's defined as broadly applicable to all of the above and more, but gets used more often for feminism than for the rest combined, leaving me still with no counterpart that's exclusively or even primarily used for something other than feminism.
