Right on. I long have recognized that, as a white male, I have enjoyed immense privilege. And I have tried to help remedy that. So must we all.

victim-rescuer-persecutor triangle of human dynamics is the province of those who want to

1: rescue themselves

2: want to be rescued by expecting transfers of wealth (someone's money, time, emotions)

Men have had enough of women seeking zero-sum solutions.

Doesn't seem to me that is necessarily your path, but this post hints there lingers the need to be taken care of.

That is what men are objecting to.

White privilege is a lie for a long time.

Lazy, shiftless people play the blame game hoping white males will give their power to those people, removing the merit-based systems.

You’re owned by a whiny rich white man. Rupert Murdoch still lets you write? Oh, happy day! Publish elsewhere and I might read you. For now, this is just an advertisement for a Murdoch paper. 🐣
