yea

I did not expect this this post of mine to attract as many people minimising SA as it did. Bit of a downer, yeah.

I admit I've got a privileged position here, ... not having been through the shit my male friends went through, let alone women.

Maybe you should stfu then when those people voice their opinion? What value can you hope to add to the conversation?

Edit: this actually got me riled up because the whole point of being aware of your privilege isn't for you to be able to liberalism but so you get OUT OF THE WAY of the struggle of the less privileged FIRST, THEN you can MAYBE hope to help. And you aren't just aware but by effectively going "I hear your fear and grief and pain but ..." you are minimizing it and ACTIVELY DOING HARM. Stop.
