This. This this this.
This is what people who #notallmen everything they can get their hands on are intentionally distracting you from when they do this.
Of course it isn’t all men. It’s never all of anything. Humans are complex and messy and complicated, and when people talk about privilege, if you’ve never acted like an ass in public, well.
Good for you.
But you don’t get, nor do you need, special congratulations for that – which is, of course, what you’re demanding when you do this.
You want to take any discussion of the larger issue and make it about you.
Well, muffin, that’s not a good look on you.
If it ain’t you, then don’t make it about you. But we’re never going to fix this crap if we have to make everything about you, all the time.
And I don’t think that being white or a man means you behave in a certain way. But it does allow you to behave in a certain way, if you chose, generally without consequences. In public, in the classroom, throughout your life. That’s privilege.
