I'm not sure when or what you are talking about, but if there is injustice against anybody, I speak out against it. It just so happens that movements can go too far and become retaliatory, which is what I would like to prevent.
Women and minorities should OBVIOUSLY have equal opportunity, but the implementation of that cannot harm majority males BECAUSE::: that is not a good long term strategy for society. It WILL cause (and already has caused) resentment and anger and I do not want to see a USA devolve into an actual second civil war.
> I know its an idealistic comment, that the world should be fair in every place. But because these comments come out only when men are not in their usual favored position, I cannot help but see them as a kind of 'institutional bias' for men.
These comments do not ONLY come out in defense of men. Perhaps it is the particular posts you view, but to say there isn't overwhelming defense of women and minorities in the case of injustice is telling me that you aren't seeing the full picture.
I just explained in this post that MYSELF, a person wary of a situation disadvantaging white men, also speaks up when a minority or woman is disadvantaged for their sex or skin color.
Injustice is injustice.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoAnd that sentiment comes out when men are threatened, but largely when women have issues, silence. That's my point. The meme 'I fight injustice wherever I see it' is overused and weak - because so many occur just as some kind of correction is pursued to even out the field. Its ok to have equality, but whoa! not if even one man is affected negatively. If I missed your defense of women being discriminated against, please list the links here! I'll eat crow.
