    Fuck that shit. That’s a bullshit definition that’s a shield for bigotry.

    No, that’s the common definition ever since at least Simone DeBeauvoir. You can’t be racist against the people at the top of a racial hierarchy for the same reason.

    Not viewing these issues as systemic actively worsens your understanding of a situation, because it skewes your view away from underlying, systemic issues towards concluding that it’s just individuals being assholes.

    Sexisim is when you attack a gender for existing. Doesn’t matter if it’s systemic or just one asshole. Still sexism.

    As soon as you follow that definition, you’re not talking about real people, but rather about strawmen and cartoon characters, who hate just for the sake of hating. Again: It makes yopr understanding of issues worse.

    That’s not the statement.

    What’s the statement, according to you, then?

      Fuck your moving goalposts too.

      Racism and sexism are systemic. They are not exclusively systemic.

      Simone DeBeauvoir

      Bigoted shitstain.

      What’s the statement, according to you, then?

      The statement is “I would rather be stuck in the woods with a strange bear than a strange man.”
