Good point well made
Let me tell you a story.
I watched a small boy get on a school bus one day, he had some form of cerebral palesy. there were no teachers no adults, just kids running wild. an indian boy piped up and said something mean about the boy. at which point other boys went mad and started calling the indian boy racist names
the fact is the indian boy was bigotted and discriminating and then he was also discriminated against as revenge. you therefore have to act to prevent both forms of discrimination, but if you dont tackle the indian boys bigotry then you wont stop the abuse he receives. equaltity and law must work both ways equally. but it doesnt. how many twitter police cases or sexual discrimination or sexism cases or discrimination cases have been taken on from hetrosexual men? compared to women, gay people, disabled people, different religions, nationalities and other groups? etc
men are told to man up and laugh it off? why the double standard?
this is the way human nature often works.
but to allow greater protection for one group over another creates mass problems and people feel angry and have no voice. hence we then see the rise of the disgusting bnp and such like. everyone can be bigotted. in the case of julian he needs to be called out for labelling groups of people in such a negative way. I dont even think its being funny , he really means it, thats a key difference. as a man I find it offensive.
say we flipped the script and took all he said over the weeks as a straight man saying it about gay people, disabled people or women. theyre all the same boring all do the same thing talk the same thing, the way he condescends about americans too is near the knuckle. its not just one off comments with julian its his entire persona. theres a lot of negativity and judgement coming from this man.
