And do think it's worth talking about in that context. Maybe privilege spoils some? Of course it's not every man, but they have an outsized effect on civil life these days with their terror. With all the chatter about terror in the last twenty years, white men are seriously unrepresented.

Interesting theory about POC being under more scrutiny. Can't agree with the biological determinism- same garbage people use to justify rape. It's a cultural problem too- much more common where it is tolerated. I do think we have a cultural problem where brutality and domination are too often celebrated. We need to expect better from each other.
