"white male" isn't a culture. I don't know if you're aware, but not every white male is the same, they come from diverse backgrounds just like every other race and gender.
- CharlesW 8y agoYou intersect with many cultures — examples might include religious culture, pop culture, Southern American culture, etc. "White male culture" is a thing, but it's easy to be white and not aware of that if you take it for granted and/or think of it as "the default". (As an analogy, you might think you don't have "an accent" because you think of yours as the "normal" one.)
- benrbray 8y agoWould you feel the same way about an article lamenting "black male culture"?
- ivanbakel 8y agoWhat is the accusation here - that "black male culture" wouldn't be agreed to exist, or that nobody would be allowed to lament it? There are certainly groups that lament "black male culture", with varying political views. On the left, you might find that criticism in views like intersectional black feminism against "misogynoir" - macho behaviour and chauvinism especially by black men. On the the political right, criticism of "black male culture" hardly needs naming.
- slededit 8y agoIs this the sci-fi loving Star Trek convention attendee "white male culture". or is it the Sunday night football, never misses a game "white male"? Or perhaps you meant the cow rustling rodeo loving white male culture out on the ranch? I really don't know what "white male culture" you are referring to.
- neom 8y agoDo you also disagree that there is such a thing as an image of masculinity?
