Yup. There was a discussion to be had there. He wasn’t interested in that discussion.

I didn’t suspect a trock after reading that emotional post. I too was surprised none of the males with a savior complex replied. It appeared they were scared off.

It’s the @chela corollary to Hanlon’s razor: never attribute to cleverness that which is adequately explained by douchebaggery.

Not that it matters to the bigger topic, but she at least identifies as white.

Sorry, was going by all the articles that said she identified as mixed. But her own account definitely trumps that.

She has a traumatic past that’s for certain.

Sorry about that. I probably should have reported it instead. I did think it might be somebody so invested in the (at least partly accurate) historical situation that they were blind to the implications of what they were saying.

Oh, no blame at all. The intersection of “believe women” and “white woman uses privilege to attack Black male” is a worthy topic of discussion. I was going to respond until I read to the end and realized his only argument was “don’t believe women.”

See, if you’re male and you agree with a woman about something involving gender relations, or advocate for feminist principles, or push back against criticism of a woman from a man, the only possible reason is that you have a “savior complex”.

Apparently, it’s unthinkable that a man might just support a woman’s viewpoint because he honestly believes that she is (or might be) right. Nothing but a “savior complex” can explain his behavior.

And if such a man doesn’t rush to side with any woman whatsoever who’s having some conflict with some man, it can only be because he’s “scared off”. Not because, y’know, he used his rational consciousness to come to the conclusion that he’s not necessarily in favor of this particular woman’s views in this particular situation.

This, apparently, is because men are incapable of logical thinking and respond only to the promptings of complexes, fear, and other emotional stimuli?

I’m telling you I don’t believe those babaling in supposed earnestness for women. I do get vibes in those threads of incels who want attention from women.

Before some of y’all go off on a tangent about your personal experiences save yer breath. I’m talking about inside our little insular happy co dependent little community

I think chela is insulting men in this forum who side with women as just doing it because they are horny and looking to get approval from women posters.
