Whatever it is you should accept that it is. If you immediately take the moral high ground and deny that what is IS you contribute to the problem of robbing people of their voice by deeming their thoughts or their way of thinking as wrong. Such judgment immediately closes the potential for dialogue.
Take certain men coming out in women's defense but then being lambasted as hypocritical because he himself had some less serious offenses. This attitude alienates men and causes a defensive reaction. Instead of attacking the real problem which is a culture problem that affects men and women the individual human is attacked. This is no way for change. It marginalizes opinions that fester until they become worse.
Do we dehumanize those who would dehumanize others? No. Because acceptance of the humanity of others and ourselves is the only way to break cycles of hate.
