[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, people treat men more deferentially and respectfully. They also treat white people better than other races, and rich people better than poor people.

Western society is full of prejudices that continue to benefit wealthy white men over all others, as has been true for centuries.

And the cool trick is that wealthy white men mostly manage to deflect this fundamental truth by pitting marginalized people against one another. So women are taught to fear black men (and view white men as protection). People of color view white women as "Karens" (a term white men have co-opted and LOVE to use, if you're paying attention). Middle and working class people are taught to blame poor people for everything so they never think to consider how the wealthy have structured the rules to benefit only themselves. And so on.

This is why there is a lot of power in marginalized groups banding together to help, defend, and promote one another.[/quote]

White men are the enemy.[/quote]

*cisgender* white men are the enemy.[/quote]

No, not the “enemy.”

Cisgender white males are the “oppressors.”

Use the correct terminology.  Optics matter.[/quote]
