I applaud your willingness to race 100% in the wrong direction in your failure to understand a point.

The point, by the way, is not that no men have ever "persisted," and certainly there are stellar examples of men defying horrific adversity, and no one on DU disputes that.

However, it is worth repeating that even "ordinary" women face oppression daily in a way that white men simply do not. That's the point of this well-crafted satirical piece.

I get that this truth might make you uncomfortable, and I admit that it took me a while before I really understood and accepted it.

Good luck!
