You dont see an issue of empowering minorities by oppressing other groups? I dont have an issue with minority empowerment, I have an issue with the fact that it's done at the expense of whites, straights and males. (and any one of those) My issue is that if someone from of those three groups were to say/do something that is celebrated as promoting empowerment by minorities, they would be branded a social outcast. It's the double standard that is the issue. Because now one group has certain freedoms that another doesn't. Not legal freedoms, but social freedoms, that if broken will lose you your job, your family so on and so forth. Right now those groups still have it pretty good. In 20 years they'll likely be a "power minority" (men already are in college and itll show up later economically). However they wont be able to do a damn thing about it, because there's a double standard of who can even speak for empowerment and who cannot. If these people werent branded racists, sexists, homophobes etc for any disagreement with leftist politics or for doing/saying the exact same things minorities are allowed to I'd have zero problem. But thats not the case. |
But how are straight white men being suppressed? What makes this even more baffling is that white straight males are being “suppressed” in fields that are still largely dominated by straight white males. It's like you're assuming that when group is fighting for proper representation in a field it somehow means that the group currently in power loses out. Imagine how silly it would sound if black rappers started talking about how they can't properly voice their opinions when Eminem started getting famous
