Reply #27: Why? [View All]

I mean, why would any man take it as a personal affront if he knew it didn't apply to him?

Maybe that's a really ignorant question on my part, but I honestly don't get it. I'm white, and I'll be the first to agree that white people as a class are responsible for outrageous racist atrocities. When I was still a Catholic, there was never any question that the Catholic church has been responsible for mind-numbingly violence in the name of religion... etc., etc., etc. But that doesn't mean all white people are slave-owning Klan members, or all Catholics are psychotic Inquisitors.

Misogyny exists -- why is it so threatening for some men to admit that? Admitting it doesn't mean they're part of the problem. Not admitting it, however, makes them part of the problem.
