“Stay in your lane” means: If you’re white, your words carry little authority on race issues. If you’re a man, you should refrain from weighing in about women’s movements like #metoo and the debates around rape culture on campuses. If you’re not Muslim, you should defer to those who are on the topic of Islam. If you’re a cisgender heterosexual, check your privilege before offering your two cents on LGBTQ issues.
