Then it's not yours to deny it. In fact, it's everybody's place to make their own judgement on what they wear & you have to deal with it

And no, we don't ignore those who "toe the line", but that's kinda the point---this is not your issue. This impacts us.
-
But it is others you are telling how to dress or not dress. That does impact them. Obv, no-one objects to you deciding for yourself.

If one understands that, there wouldn't even be a debate in the first place. They'd get it. They'd understand.
-
I don't understand the way forward is to give way to the culturally relativist identitarians over the universal liberals in minority groups
-
I absolutely see what a sincere & ethical person you are & appreciate that you are taking time to explain to me rather than yell at me.
-
But I do think you're misguided & I think so after much reading, listening, studying and writing on the subject.

When this isn't something that affects you the way it affects me, by default. That's the entire issue.
-
And it needn't. My views on a matter in no way impair you from having your own.

But many won't. As a community, those discussions are had. That's basic respect in itself as well. Knowing when to stay in your lane.

Looks like professor X don't know his place.

It does mean talking over oppressed people/communities on issues that impact them really isn't showing compassion or respect.
-
I've been told I can't even empathize with oppressed people because being an oppressor is on my blood.
-
That's the reality of it. I think a lot of people haven't taken the time to really ask themselves how they are affected by that. We all are.
-
Or non-white people can stop acting like they're opressed while living in a 1st world country and take responsibility for their own shit?

Thanks for making my argument for me.

At this is what it comes back to---you're a white woman telling me, I'm black, I'm gay, and you're telling me how to feel on this.
-
You can merrily feel however you like. Unless you plan on instituting a police state (next step?) you can't tell me what clothes to wear.

Why cultural divides exist. Debates like this explain it. And all I've said is that all I seek is a level of respect and understanding.
-
Have to get back to work here, but think your statement here is reasonable. Thank you.
-
It is. Respect & understanding are key but we do not need to conclude that dividing by cultural identity is the way forward. Can say no.
