Yeah, pretty much the same as men back in the days telling a woman to shut up because she’s just a woman. Now it’s white males who are told to shut up because they’re just white males. Same shit, different target.
It sometimes feels like feminism and emancipation is not about freeing women, but to take vengeance for centuries of oppression on the white men who live today, regardless of whether they fit the pattern or not. It hurts to see that society does not seem to have learned from its mistakes. We’re making them again. This time only in the opposite direction.
So when A oppresses B for 100 years and B is the victim, and suddenly B oppresses A for the same fucking reasons, A is not a victim too??? How’s that fair? How’s that equality? That’s not equality, that’s revenge.
Man I can’t stand this kind of take like white men are suddenly getting oppressed. The systemic oppression hasn’t suddenly pulled a sick 180; that’s not how this works. Some people are being rude, it’s true, but white men aren’t suddenly being targeted all over. It might look that way if you pick up several social circles who laser focus on perceived slights. Looking on from a position of privilege, seeing those privileges get chipped away looks scary and might make you feel personally targeted. Ultimately though, being on level ground is going to be a different environment.

Oh ffs stop playing the victim.
