...I guess what I find hard about these discussions..(specifically on the forum because it’s not something I encounter in real life with any similar discussions with family/friends etc...)...discussions about discrimination for things like race, sex, gender, sexuality etc in particular...are often very much ‘what about us’, so they kind of don’t really progress that much or stretch very much because the threads get stuck in those things quite a bit...it’s something I don’t really understand at all because all who have felt discrimination in any way in their lives for any of those things would surely feel empathy and understanding in sharing a common feeling...because the ‘us’ of what about us is all of us...some to a lesser degree and some to a greater with different impacts etc but it’s still a common feeling of discrimination shared by all...

...and yeah if straight, white men have felt discrimination because they’re straight or white or men...then they’re an ‘us’ as well...
