This is one of the major reasons (among many others both real and manufactured) that the current right wing won over so many voters. And once they were won over it just takes another election cycle of propaganda to entrench them.

It doesn’t matter the various reasons someone will argue that race/sex/whateverelse ism is okay when it’s done against (white/men/straight/christian) because historically they are the oppressors. There is either true equality or there is nuance on equality and you really cannot have it both ways yourself without falling into the mirror image of the hypocrisy you are arguing against.

You could take almost the exact same logical argument that people use for women only shelters and use it for white only shelters, yet if said without any shred of irony one is easily classified as a form of prejudice and the other is not (by a portion of the population).

It’s tiring still pointing this out to people a decade later as they are at the same time doing the “how did we get here??” Song and dance about the current fascism.
