I can't believe I have to say this, but it's 2019, so let's go: "sexism against men" and "racism against white people" is THE SAME AS "homophobia against straight people", "Islamophobia against Christians", "transphobia against cis people". THE SAME. These words have meanings!

It's interesting how folk etymology of words can affect people when they make some arguments sometimes, but not others. You certainly hear "racism goes both ways" but you less often hear "that's reverse homophobia" [although you do get the straights wanting their own pride LMAO].

The problem with straight pride is that it's actually a front for an alt-right/fascist event, organized by a man based in Boston who runs the Boston Resist Marxism Chapter. https://www.thedailybeast.com/website-promised-free-anti-antifa-shirts-alt-right-signed-up-it-was-a-trap … https://twitter.com/IGD_News/status/1147539080822943745?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/UB5xHFjmr5

Doesn't surprise me that "reverse ism" provides cover for some pretty terrible political agendas. I'd just wish many more people would understand this. Some academics think they are being "reasonable", but it is so insidious.

Btw, I hope me linking to Eva Victor's clip was a form of sarcasm. Her clip helps me cope with this nonsense. It is all very upsetting.
