> Be wary of the white, straight men who call out lesbians and women of colour as bigots because they refuse to comply with the version of liberation they deem appropriate, and who pat themselves on the back for being an “ally” for doing so. Their naivety gives them the luxury of childishly dividing the world into goodies and baddies. The rest of us live with the consequences.
So close, and yet so far to getting it. Using white, straight men as scapegoats only cheapens the message from the article which is that yes: making swiping generalizations is bad and that discrimination happens everywhere, even within marginalized groups towards other marginalized people.
