Lots of men are genuinely abusive. This is indisputable. However, the “progressives” channel this into the idea that anything that any man has done that was in some context abusive is by some weird transitive property abusive in every context. It’s HR-like in its lack of nuance and lack of comprehension of very diverse circumstances and situations.

But — and I hope I don’t need to say this but I guess I do — dating someone of a different race could be an abusive relationship or not. There is no way to tell from looking and it’s also none of your damn business. And I think that dating someone much younger (especially if they are under 22 or so) is somewhat more likely to be abusive, but again, it’s impossible to tell and also none of your business. (No one above the age of majority should be dating minors, near-age peers excepted.)

I strongly, strongly resist a world where HR hive-minds are in control of every interaction, destroying all nuance and possibility of something interesting and remarkable. That is what I am fighting against.
