I'm sorry, I've must have misinterpreted your post, but it seems unlikely based these short comments, you concentrate on how other groups affect you but seems to miss the reason the people might have for saying or doing certain things, and these ideas seldome represent homogeneous groups. From my perspective you should always take a step back when you think "those OTHER GROUP are so SOMETHING". The long european monotheistic struggle is a sign post of fear, uncertainty and doubt (I'm sure the Islamic conquests also did something similar, re: my comment above). I'm not sure what part you mean should be mathematically identical it seems like a strange measure for social interaction, too many unknown variables, and too many individuals.

I suspect the problem might be on topics like this, the human mind has a bad habit of becoming impractically pedantic. So, when I write "ultra-conservative Islamic people are given a free pass by progressives and feminists", your mind interprets that (correctly) as an absolute statement, rather than a (correct) generalization. > I'm not sure what part you mean should be mathematically identical it seems like a strange measure for social interaction, too many unknown variables, and too many individuals. This was me returning the sentiment of extreme pedantry.

  I've seen your meme before and I wondered why this specific connection is popular. Because your statement goes beyond being a generalization it might be acceptable in a closely knit group where everyone know who specifically you are talking about, but know this there are alot of feminists, you might as well be generalizing about drivers. So unless you are aiming for a chuckle from your friends the statement above will get you nowhere. Your statement is a very radicalized view of reality, in this specific context and worse without context.
