The more I hear people talk about it who aren’t cis-het men, the more I hear criticism about the concept. But so far, I’ve only heard people say that it’s stupid, that it’s not a thing, that it’s men’s own fault etc. But I’ve yet to understand where that criticism comes from. I don’t want to start a discussion on whether or not it’s real or not. I just want to understand where the critics are coming from.
Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada
Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)
Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)
Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)
But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.
And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.
That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.
