It's time to acknowledge that intersectionality and critical theories are bad for women. Critical race theory has been trying to blame white women for male violence for some time. In Ottawa, there was an incident a while back in which a mentally ill black man was arrested after sexually assaulting women in a coffee shop. He died during the violent arrest. The coffee shop took all kinds of shit for calling the police, as though they were wrong for calling and it was their fault he died. Women are now expected to be mindful of their assailant's wellbeing when they are assaulted, much the way we're being expected to defer our expectations of safety, privacy and equal participation in society in favour of males' emotional 'needs'.

That's some incel level logic there, but applied to black people instead of virgins lol

I wish this is what gender critical men and women focused on more. You can walk away from trans people, you can't walk away from rape or assault. This is one of the reasons I wasn't too hot on the original GC sub on reddit, because besides the trans thing they were woke af.

I have a lot to say about this, but I'm too lazy atm

edit: well, I'll say that I just read an article about Europol orchestrating police raids in several countries over hate speech. Hate speech. I've never heard a similar thing happening over something like rape. Even mass rapes and pedo traffickers like we've had in the past in Europe. Wonder why they struggle so much to protect the feelings of some minority men but don't do anything to ensure the physical safety of women and children.

This is why I (admittedly a right-leaning gay man) have been railing against so-called "wokeness", "social justice", and namely, intersectionality, since the start of the Trump era.

It's not because I'm against working toward a socially-just society (duh), but rather because these ideologies obviously cannibalize everyone involved, and entire civilizations if given the chance. Seriously, we need solutions based in evidence, as well as personal responsibility, not dogmatic proclamations about whoever having the most victimhood being right.

Imagine saying "yeah I raped her, but only because I'm Black, so really it's her fault for oppressing me" - the exact type of bullshit statement intersectionality logically concludes at in this scenario. And don't even get me started on the abomination of "restorative justice", particularly in these situations.

Fuck being 'woke', try being AWAKE.

I like this.

I agree 100%

Y'all just figuring that out?

I read all sorts of crap: some crappy white nationalist novel on PDF (written about 2000) literally predicted that the far left would start punishing women for reporting rapes because the perps where disproportionately non white.

We've already seen an attempt to decriminalise petty theft for the same reason in some states.

Was the author of that novel Nostradamus? I remember how only 10 years ago being woke was a bad thing, worthy of derision. Feels like things changed over night.

Maybe they should decriminalize petty theft and be more vocal about white women not reporting assaults and so on. Maybe things need to get a lot worse before they get better.

I'm pretty close to calling it victim blaming, except the problem here is the victim is not being blamed (she's not being told that she's at fault), they're just belittling her allegations by saying she has white privilege and shaming her for standing up for herself by reporting a crime, I wonder what is the word for this type of action other than "shaming". I'm not surprised if whoever who wrote the document wanted to use the word "Karen" instead.
