Sexism and racism... the unfortunate parallels

I believe it would be wrong of me, as a man, to deny that sexism (which was also systematic) exists based on the fact that some women have treated me poorly, too. The issue is not about ME and my experiences. It is about the bigger picture of sexism. And men, let's be brutally honest with ourselves (accountability), what was the norm? We'd call those women who stood up, "They're over reacting and being emotional... OR, she's a PMS-ing bitch." The same principal applies to racism.

Having said that, I am glad women have been finally heard and that some of the main chauvinist a-holes have been jailed and held accountable. More needs to change regarding sexism. More change needs to happen regarding all forms of discrimnation. It just happens that racism is the current and urgent focus as it is costing lives.

We have reached a potential tipping point. We have never had this much understanding and support (globally) from the white community. Please continue supporting to end racism. Don't get lost in political agendas and manipulation of reality. Politics and racism are two separate issues.

I believe change is around the corner and it may get ugly before the sun shines.

We are still in the, hard at first, messy in the middle phase. We can and we will reach the gorgeous phase. :)
