Key’s In the word experience. The idea that white men experience sexism on a meaningful scale’s laughable. It might exist according to the dictionary but in reality it’s not even close to being the same thing and you know it. Just like casual black-on-white racism wouldn’t be taken as seriously because it’s nowhere near close to being in the same league.

Who is claiming to 100% understand anything? And why does not having 100% understanding of an issue exclude anyone from engaging in a discussion? And what is the point of a group of people with 100% understanding of an issue discussing that issue with each other?

Also, who has claimed that its in the same league and why does that matter when discussing acceptability? Flicking someone's nose isn't in the same league as slapping someone in the face, which is a million miles from stabbing someone in the stomach. Does that mean it's OK to go up and flick someone on the nose, or slap them in the face, "because you didn't stab them in the stomach"? Is it wrong for them to be annoyed about it "because they'll never know what it's like to be stabbed"?
