I don't understand the hatred for Manveer. Do understand that I am a POC, an immigrant, a gender minority, living in Canada. To pretend that racism doesn't exist, to pretend that white superiority doesn't exist, to pretend that systematized racism doesn't exist -- is PRIVILEGE. We have been marginalized, denied jobs, been discriminated in the workplace, been discriminated at bars, be freaking discriminated in the metro because of the color of our skin. What Manveer is doing is NOT racism. It is protest. It is reclaiming power that has been lost. To simply say, oh what if it were a white guy talking trash about a POC is a faulty analogy. A white guy talking trash about POC is simply exercising his racial dominance and his superiority, challenging no new issues but simply reasserting what is happening. That paradigm does not exist in what Manveer is doing -- it is the opposite as he is the minority. This kind of dialogue can be present in MRA, Manninists, Heterophoboes, Straight Pride, etc. It simply does not exist unless you have marginalized historically and personally. wew lad

No. Sorry, but no. When you're in a position of power, you kind of can't use the discrimination card. It just doesn't work and -- quite frankly -- is rather offensive to those of us who do not enjoy the same privilege. There's a reason "Anything a man can do, a woman can." is empowering. But "Women take too much space" does not. There's a reason "Black Lives Matter" is powerful but "All Lives Matter" is offensive. There's a reason "Same Love" resonates but "Straight Pride" is illogical. You enjoy privilege. We do not. You have not been the victim of discrimination all your life. This is gonna be my last post in this thread. I understand a lot of people don't share my views and that's fine but I'm gonna stop engaging at this point. lad, wew

Yeah, this isn't going anywhere productive. No one is in trouble, but I'm shutting this down.
