Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 days agoFor example, white men will generally have an easier time in public spaces. Police and shops are less likely to bother them.
privilege doesn’t mean “you have a yacht” or “you’re rich”

and if you’re black/Hispanic and you dress in a suit they won’t bother you either.
but if you’re white and tattooed and look homeless, they will.
It’s about class.

Please go read en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_privilege and the related articles, such as en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

Both is kinda true. Yes, a poor black man will be worse off than a poor white man and a middle-class black man will be worse off than a middle-class white man and so on.
But a poor white man will be worse off than a middle-class black man and a rich white man will be better off than a middle-class white man.
That’s what intersectionality means: All these things stack together instead of wiping eachother out.
If intersectionality wasn’t a thing, then any black man will always have less privilege than any white man, no matter any other circumstances. And that’s obviously crap, considering that clearly someone like Barak Obama or Will Smith has much more social privilege than any random white homeless guy.
