I think people who have experienced positive trauma from one specific group of people should be able to receive support and succour in environments from which that specific group of people is excluded. Like, right now I wouldn't be offering Ukrainian women refuge in places where they might turn around and see people in Russian army uniforms. I don't give a fuck if that Russian-army-uniform-wearer identifies as something else. For the sake of the traumatised people, no Russian-army-uniform-wearers allowed in here.

Well you can go ahead and set up such a place and offer all the succour you want to whomever you want. If your service is genuine you'll have in place a bunch of hurdles to protect your service and clients from being overwhelmed by creepers, looky-loos and those who would be better helped elsewhere. As part of this process you can ensure that only the right kind of woman is able to participate in your service.
If this is something that matters to you, there is a use for any resources you are willing to commit. That's what most of such services are: concerned people and groups setting up the services for those they think are in need of support. Public services are heavily triaged, you're not finding care except where you meet considerable criteria.

Individuals and groups can make any demands they like.
If you're running a successful service, you're already adept at guarding your space. You're used to people desperately pleading, angrily demanding entry. Or closure, better use of little public funding you might enjoy.

You can't treat gender issues as being generated by a coherent group or set of principles.
Unless you're engaging in a political/tribal fight that you're looking to win. Then of course, it makes absolute sense to hunt down any kind of poor behaviour and attribute it to this single, coherent movement.

This is what "support and succour" looks like in NZ for a rape victim:
I was raped, then ruined by the systems that were supposed to help me

It's the wild west of gender related guidelines and rules at the moment.
Until there's a more standardized method of how to approach the topic without immediately being labeled an insensitive asshole, you're gonna have a whole array of unintended consequences. Equality in sports! OK, we've removed all woman specific leagues, and now no woman is fast/strong enough to qualify. No, not like that! Schools must do everything they can for gender fluid students! Little Timmy decided he's Little Tammy today, and now he's perving on the girls in the locker room. No, not like that! Sports must accept transgender! LillyBron James scores record 700 points in her first game in the WNBA. No, not like that! But who am I to say how to handle those topics. I'm a white CIS male insensitive asshole.

Black people can't be racist against white people because it's all about power, right?

Umm ... yeah. Unless you think that this shooting somehow changes the power & privilege dynamics of US society & institutions?

Power in in the context of racism (rather than racial prejudice) is about systemic power and privilege exercised over another on the basis of skin colour.
This guys prejudice motivated killings means that these individuals no longer have ANY social and economic privileges, because they're dead. The social attitudes, structures and actions which oppress and discriminate blacks while privileging whites remain.

Ok, I get it. You believe that collectively all white people are racist eh?
|
15th April 2022, 13:28 | #1299 |

Oof, I get that sounds clever to you xor, but all you're doing is showing off how you struggle with nuanced concepts.
Or you're just a racist who is angry they don't get to be racist. Are you really about that? Really?

I believe that most people are good people. Black, white, whatever.
I believe people like you and fixed truth want to divide people into separate groups and create conflict between those people. |
15th April 2022, 13:56 | #1301 |

xor, people are already divided into groups and pitted against each other, and this has been the case long before f_t and I existed. My 70 year old neighbour telling me his thoughts about the Indians and the Maoris had those thoughts before I was born.
Your ideas of people being good are nice, but there's more than just people going on. There are forces and phenomena that are greater than individuals or even groups. Like biology, evolutionary traits, environmental events, geography. All these things shape and compel us, often beyond our awareness. But you don't get that do you? You reckon that's just some fancy talk I've cooked up to try and divide our united, harmonious population. For the lolz of it.

ok cool. So, based on your own rationale you are a racist white male that belongs to a system where it oppresses non white people.
Can you please provide examples of your own individual examples where you have oppressed non-whites? |
15th April 2022, 14:09 | #1303 |

You're trying to pin everything on individuals. But I'm engaging in systems of oppression any time I say the right words in the right way to get the things I want, things that would be denied those who don't know how or are unwilling to align themselves with the dominant culture.
Of course, I could just point to the time I crossed the road to avoid those brown people, was less patient with someone who seemed strange to me than I would someone familiar, etc., etc. But what is the point of that? You'll just say it's me that's racist, but you've never done a racist thing in your life. And unlike most other humans, you have perfect memory and in no way repress or suppress unflattering memories of yourself. And so you'll know people talking about racism are the bad people. While you are the good person you think most people are. That's what we'd find in your comment history, your reflections on the good nature of humanity?

Maori high prison population per capita is comparable to Australia, Canada & the US indigenous peoples. This is not because indigenous people are more genetically disposed to commit crime, rather they have a long history of colonisation, where land, power & culture were decimated. The generational trauma from this and the racism from this is inherent in the justice system.

Ab, you remind me of the local racist who keeps clippings of wrongdoing by Maoris as justification for their beliefs.
