So a lot of colleges are off the table for someone so wounded by what has been pretty normal in society in general for years. LGBT groups are normal. Affinity groups are normal.

I’m guessing Hillsborough or Liberty are safe spaces for you. [/quote]

Of course those groups are normal and no one is suggesting they shouldn't exist and play important roles in a school. But anyone who has been around college/university or even high schools lately knows the difference between inclusion and diversity and [b]white man shaming.[/b]

The problem is, while some of those white men will stay progressive and supportive of diversity, a not-insignificant number are going to be turned off by it and will veer hard to the right. [/quote]

Straight, white men have always had the most power in our society and that hasn't changed just because some marginalized groups are recognized. The phrase "white man shaming" is laughable. People in minority groups would laugh in your face if you complained to them about how hard it is to be a white man. [/quote]
