This is a Harris aligned group that held a rally[1] intended only for for white men. Unless we want to pretend that redboxing[2] isn't real and that PACs actually operate completely independent from their campaigns I don't see how it doesn't imply what the first commenter was saying.

- squigz 2y agoThat really isn't even remotely the same as "segregating rallies by race and gender"
- sickofparadox 2y agoSegregating: "to separate or set apart from others or from the main body or group; isolate" Are we going to play equivocation games with the definition of segregate?
- squigz 2y agoI don't know. Are we going to pretend that the dictionary definition of 'segregate' is actually what we're talking about here, and that the historical context of 'segregation' with regards to race and gender is irrelevant? When someone says something like, "They're being segregated by race and gender," it does not imply people choosing to go to rallies aimed at particular groups of people. Interpreting it that way seems incredibly disingenuous.
