Oh, this is going to piss a lot of people off.

But it’s right. Wanting us (correctly, in my view) to celebrate cultural differences but then denying that cultural differences exist is daft liberalism at its worst.

It’s not that white men never catcall; they do, just not nearly as often (which I’ve seen in person when walking behind and from talking to female friends) and usually more subtly.

But, yep.

White men, on the other hand, have no use for that sort of catcalling. They marked their territory centuries ago. So, instead, their sexual harassment is less invasive (“in passing,” as Bliss puts it) and harder to recognize—even when it’s staring you in the face. They do it in bars, at parties, on the frat row at your local college campus, in boardrooms, and other places men of color are never privy to, at least not in positions of power.

It’s funny how nominally current (idiotic) liberalism unknowingly pushes their own version of atomistic neoliberal individualism except when it becomes inconvenient and then the screams are deafening.

This is the same as the Maher Islam debate. Just because some group is oppressed or perceived to be oppressed does not absolve them from all criticism or make them angelic beings.

Such is the case here as well.
