It is a social construct, but the point of that construct is identity, not a direct exercise of power. Race ('white' race especially) is an "easy" answer to the perceived problem of "what am I supposed to identi

Ah, but what about "unreliable, selfish and inconsiderate" women ? Are we "allowed" to attack them or is that 'sexist'? Everyone agrees that being unreliable, selfish and inconsiderate is not great, but usin

I mean, you're not even wrong as far as that goes, but you might just be missing the point. "Racial privilege" is the latest variation on "bourgeois privilege", and we all know how toxic that idea was. Maybe he

Interesting, but this seems to be more about "superficial charm" than friendliness, cooperation and reduced aggression per se . Psychopaths also show superficial charm as well as a markedly reduced response to fear and negative
