Thank you, but it's not my metaphor - although I don't know exactly where it originated and so can't credit the source.
I have seen it used in a number of discussions on privilege, particularly in situations where an unprivileged person has been castigated for being too loud, angry, insistent or generally not well-behaved when pointing out someone else's privilege.

It seemed to fit this situation perfectly.
