As a straight, cisgender white guy, I will confirm that you are correct. I see things through my identity like others do through theirs. The main difference is that my identity became the default identity so long ago, it isn’t even questioned anymore—but it should be. #endwhiteprivilege
I apologize for the rest of my boomer colleagues, who somehow managed to avoid raising their boys to be kind, decent, respectful of women, equal partners, and tolerant individuals. Some of us did, but clearly not enough.
Yep. So very tired of it. 4B movement sounds about right. Men either hate us or passively tolerate misogyny. I’ve been single for 25 years with virtually no drama in my life. I’ll wave at them on construction sites and pay them to fix stuff, but no need to let them in my personal life.
Making white and masculine the villian has kinda played out. Maybe some new thing you could use based on emotion and lived experience but has no clear definition?
