It's the upper-middle class straight white cisgendered male's fault if he doesn't take the time to learn about his privilege. He has the resources, but chooses to ignore it.
What's in it for him?

- jbooth 14y agoBalance that against the positive ego effects of thinking that you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and built the log cabin you were born in. Parent post was right for a good number of people.

- theorique 14y agoIs such growth and positive interaction only possible if a White / Cis / Male submits himself to this particular narrative, or is there room to debate and disagree?
- mdpye 14y agoAbsolutely there is space for debate and disagreement - the problem is generally in getting acknowledgement that there are other view points with which to engage. A considered opinion deserves respect if not agreement. One formed on assumption, in a vacuum is more difficult to accept.
