My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

RE: My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male
TaraJo, courts are gender biased, however I see that practice as sexist as it can be because it is based on the assumption that women are weaker and less capable - The fact women get their kids more often, child support and social services may be a direct benefit but it shows the social mentality that women are meant to be mothers and are fragile/need help - By these reasons I consider that even if that makes it easier for women, it is still sexist - To be pro-equality means giving up on every group's privileges and that includes women, not only men...

I have no doubt that in those specific situations it would be much easier to be a part of other ethnic or linguistic group - However those cases, considering the fact that the majority of western population is white american or white European, depending on the country of course, doesn't change the fact that if you're white you'll most likely have it easier.

Also, if you read all of my post, you'll see that I mentioned I'm middle class, which would translate into not living in a poor urban area

I get it that everyone can be racist or a target of racism - that's not something I'm trying to deny, nor it is my point. I'm also not making this about skin colour exclusively, it's just the current point we are discussing, there are so many factors and characteristics I didn't mention because my lists were not exhaustive.

And let's not forget not every country is populated by enough latinos, hyspanics or blacks to create segregated neighborhoods.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
