...the problem with labelling, any labelling...is that it detracts from the behaviour of an individual so that people don’t take responsibility for their actions either...’he’s a stale, white, male...’...that told him...well no it didn’t, it has no value at all in describing someone or their behaviour...(...it’s generally used in my understanding...)...to describe specific behaviour or someone’s prejudices, maybe..?...but all it does is detract and distract from any such things in favour of applying a label...unacceptable behaviour itself is what should be addressed, not name calling...(..sexism toward females is often a huge issue on the forum...I am just going to pop that in there also...also racism...)...
