Do you think women ignore intersectionality when blaming young men for everything? The majority of young men in America today are POC. So it’s a bit crazy when u see white women who benefitted from colonizing and enslaving us blaming us for the patriarchy

yes, white women forget about their white privilege and men of color forget about their male privilege. it’s a tale as old as time

Yeah for sure. They also speak mostly for white women not other women from marginalised groups

I never considered this but somewhat yes. Certain issues I think can still be broadly applied, but I think it comes down to whether or not the younger poc men are making active efforts as well to change the system rather than uphold it

White ppl didn’t benefit from colonizing and slavery that happened hundreds of years ago, they benefit from sacrifice from their recent ancestors and deserve the life that someone worked so hard to give them. Hope this helps 😊

Absolutely. Also with wealth disparity, educational disparity, etc

I don’t think most white women are making active efforts to change the system though… most white women literally voted for Trump this past election. Why should I care about what happens to people who support the status quo societal order of colonialism and slavery. It’s not my responsibility to help them.

Imagine your abuser abusing you for 500 years and then continues to abuse you and asks “why aren’t you helping me?” That’s what it feels like.

Ngl I missed the “white” part and got confused why the other comments kept bringing them up before I reread

Men of color don’t have “male privilege.” What male privilege is there?

Yeah they do lol. They still benefit from segregation that officially ended in their lifetime lol. It was illegal for my parents to be married 😭✌️

When did I say it was? I’m saying segregation still existed. White people still got better jobs, were arrested less, were allowed to live in nicer communities, were given better education, were free from racial prejudice from people in power, etc. stop coping and hating on poor and colored people and just accept that people are still racist.

Wealth disparity is overwhelmingly the most significant factor, even more than race and gender

There is no such thing as male privilege or white privilege you are just making up excuses to not work hard

I’m not hating or coping I’m just saying that ppl should stop making excuses and learn what an honest day of hard work feels like for once instead of blaming other ppl or people from over 200 years ago for their problems
