Misogyny in Liberal/Progressive Circles

I think I know what you're saying. And my clumping women into one big group isn't helpful, or right.


our own experiences create biases that compel us to say those with similar experiences are right and those with different experiences don't know what they are talking about.

True, very true. Gah, I'm bad at explaining things but I'll try: If person A tells me their being followed around the store and treated suspiciously because of their color, I don't sit there and try to explain why they're wrong:
Maybe you're just paranoid?
They're just doing their job!
Maybe you were acting suspiciously?

I believe them. This is so common for POC, hell I've seen it in action myself. And I've seen many many usually white people disbelieving them. Why? Because it hasn't happened to them/and or we've absorbed the message that white people Are the Authorities.
