The struggle I have having many white male friends who express their particular struggles that I might even agree with are a problem is that 1) Many of the expressed issues are problems brought about by them that I can't do anything about. Literally. They need to get their own camp to change it 2) where #1 doesn't apply, I find that they're not willing to take part any kind of advocacy work. Even just, you know, speaking plainly that this sucks and I hate it. Why did I have to pull this knowledge of out you. The struggle of other groups is well known even if they are berated for having that struggle. 3) Often times, when #2 doesn't apply they get upset that people don't immediately fix it. And then I get to look like thr asshole who points out that other groups take a decade to accomplish one agenda item. You trying once isn't gonna cut it. It's not that I'm not sympathetic, but it just feels like my white male friends really disregard the timeline of how these rights other groups fought for came about. That's part of the privilege of the dominant culture used to having their wants tended to in a year or two, not over a generation.
