Comment on What kind of upbringing makes an incel?
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 year agoNow, what’s the first pro-white-male group you can think of.
Ku Klux Klan
…but why would anyone want to associate with garbage white supremacists?
If you need help or support of some sort, and you’re black, there are tons of black or African American support groups available. If you’re a women, again, there are tons of support groups. Black and a woman? Congrats, you can double dip.
In the USA at least, those other groups (black support groups, women’s support groups) exist because of the long history of bad things that white males have done to every other race and gender. Those groups work to counteract at least a small part of the hundreds of years of white male oppression on these groups.
Being a white male in the USA is still one the most privileged groups. Don’t think so? Ask a woman about very basic things they have to do be safe, such as having a friend with them to walk at night or worrying about a man drugging their drink at a bar/party. Ask a person of color about the risks of being fully licensed to drive a car but being in the wrong type of city, or the risks of them owning a legal firearm and having an encounter with Police officers.
The only thing being more privileged than “white male” in the USA is “rich white male”.

Agreed.
But that doesn’t mean that white men are exempt from needing help.

With issues facing all human beings, sure! However, what help are you arguing white males need because they are white males?
