I think I've come to a different conclusion about these things, tbh. You're missing that these bad ideas originate w/ white men.

It's an interesting point. Maybe my question is "can white men help without ruining shit?"

Our class was overwhelmingly women/POC. Yet critical perspectives were mostly new to them. cf our prev conv on Fanon

I think it's fair to say that privileged groups have a harder time seeing that their preferences aren't universal.

That's true. OTOH, I've seen white men dismissed as "mansplainer" even when right. I had to step in.

White guys should reflect, panels should be diverse—but I'd also like to retire too broad generalizations.

Not easy when the problems of privilege are very real. But women/POC are human; sometimes a guy is right.
