Attacking someone for ignorance is very unproductive

So why do white men do it to women and PoC, or is your claim that ignorance only exists on one side of this?

You imply that while men can do nothing for themselves unless given positive experiences by women an PoC.

This is obviously false, since there are plenty of white men who have a good understanding of these issues.

Stop blaming women and PoC for your own ignorance and go and learn something from people who have figured this stuff out.

I can think of virtually no better example to prove my point than the contents of this exchange.

So thank you for helping me to demonstrate to everyone else in this thread that speaking from anger, constructing and attacking the flimsiest of straw men, and repeatedly misconstruing a sympathetic counterparty's points only serves to push away the people you might hope to see your point of view.

I genuinely hope it was satisfying for you, because that's about the only positive outcome that's likely to arise for you out of this.

Try reading what I am saying without projecting anger into it. Just because it's not to your liking doesn't mean it's angry.

Also - there is nothing you have said that indicates you are a sympathetic counterparty. How do you expect us to know that? Therein lies the problem.
