(27,275 posts)I can't believe how much flack you got for stating the obvious. and i wrote in another post, white, male political hegemony has been the reality in this country since its inception, and it's not at all racist to point that out. and it is STILL true today. most of the people who hold elected offices in this country are still white men. and yes...their privilege as white and male does affect the way they think. clearly, the white men you were talking about think their privilege allows them to make healthcare choices for women. it is beyond outrageous, and it's long past time that we call this spade at spade. white men on the right are my enemy, they are enemies to all americans. and so are rw women, rw black people, and rw latinos and rw asians. however, it's rw white men who have to power to force my niece to be probed before getting an abortion. screw everyone who thinks phoney "political correctness: is more important than that harsh truth.
