minus-square blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish52•2 months agoDid you drop a /s? This is a funny meme, so I’m assuming I just missed a joke. Right? (Speaking as a white male, white male entitlement, and privilege for that matter, are incredibly relevant to white men being sexist/racist.) (You can trust me on this because I’m a white male. Also, I’m used to my opinion being listened to, so I expect you to as well. Just FYI.)
minus-square stoy ( @stoy@lemmy.zip ) linkfedilinkEnglish19•2 months agoNope, I wasn’t sarcastic, I was slightly annoyed, annoyed enough to make rhe comment but not to maje a huge deal about it.

minus-square porous_grey_matter ( @porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkEnglish13•2 months agoBeing white is a huge risk factor for unearned confidence. So is male. Being both just multiplies the chances.
minus-square cordlesslamp ( @cordlesslamp@lemmy.today ) linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 months agoAlso the gender?
minus-square NotJustForMe ( @NotJustForMe@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoIt is just mentioned. Just a description of what happened. What’s wrong about saying it was a white male when it was a white male? Why jump to the opinion that mentioning the gender or complexion has any other purpose than being descriptive?
minus-square stoy ( @stoy@lemmy.zip ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoWhat’s wrong about just mentioning it was a post doc asking the question?
