[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh the irony! Maybe you can talk to parents of girls or people of color to see how they have endured being made to feel less than productive positive contributors in this country. [/quote]

So why would you want to make other people feel that way?  Oh the hypocrisy.

And that's not justice, it's vengeance.

If you want to really change the world, and you want to make the world a better place, treat others as you would like to be treated.  [/quote]

I am a new poster to this thread whose kid is at an all boys private but still consider myself liberal on issues of gender.  My serious question to the PP is why did you assume the poster wanted men to feel oppressed? They simply advocated to talking to historically oppressed minorities for insight on how to endure feeling made less than.  And while I agree people should observe the golden rule, how do you suppose we address previous grievances without discussing them?  [/quote]

Another NP, who agrees with the PP. Social justice work is important and necessary, but in my opinion, too often the line between talking about uncomfortable subject matter and intentionally making people uncomfortable is crossed in certain settings, especially when dealing with younger people. I'm not sure why talking about white men as a group as rapists is less damaging to a young person than other racial stereotypes that are not and should not be permitted. [/quote]

But there is a huge chasm between characterizing all white men as rapists and acknowledging there are a lot of benefits to past privilege, which is apparently a controversial thing to say.  [/quote]
