In reply to the discussion: I'm surprised how many DU'ers think aknowledging white male privilege is somehow bigoted [View all]Vinnie From Indy
(10,820 posts)So, you are surprised at the amount of white male DU'ers that feel that any acknowledgement of "white male privilege" is bigoted. One might ask you at this point how many white male DU'ers have expressed such a view? Two? Five? Ten? A thousand?
Also, how does "manning up" effect the ability of a man to acknowledge history? Will "manning up" assist me in other areas of accepting historical fact? Should I do some squats or lunges before cracking a history book? Maybe paint my face like warriors in Braveheart and give a primal scream before easing back in a chair and learning about history?
On a related note, I am curious at the level and frequency of your feeling "surprised" in daily life and do you "man up" in all of these instances?
Cheers!
