I want to thank the defenders of misogyny

287. And that has in fact been my own experiences with discussions of modern-day slavery

that i have tried to have twice in this past week alone, before this thread. People don't want to talk about it, perhaps because they know little about it or it makes them uncomfortable, or perhaps its just difficult. I don't know.

The point you miss is I dispute that these folks are left-wing, though I do believe they are liberals. I see a reactionary politics at work here, such as in the thread where people lined up to tell a woman of color who talked about her own experience of racism that she was "ignorant and uninformed."

I don't identify with the white upper-middle class. I grew up poor, in diverse communities. I find their continual dismissal, not only of race and gender but also discussions related to poverty, alienating. It would be one thing if they said here are my concerns, and I'd like to talk about yours. They do not. They say our concerns should cover you and what you care about doesn't matter.
