Mine was Uncle because I always felt more comfortable getting spanked when he was watching.

Ahhh, a bunch of people who have never had kid telling a parent how to parent. An older one at that.



Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm going to do it anyways, I thought about how uncomfortable I would be doing feminine things as a male. Then I thought about what if I woke up and I all of a sudden had female genitals rather than my male genitals. I would feel extremely uncomfortable in that identity despite my physical form. Though, I have been born and raised as a male with a male body and can't quite get why somebody who was born and raised as one gender could feel like a different gender, I think I understand maybe a little more about gender identity through that.

Now, on the topic of redefining words to fit an agenda, how do people feel about some college campuses telling students that racism is defined as systematic oppression towards a race rather than bigotry towards a race thus pushing the idea that bigotry towards white people is more tolerated because it isn't racism because white people aren't systematically oppressed?

It's not defined as that.

Of course you can be racist to whites.

The intelligent people in the class fight critical race theory with critical theory and tell the professor about how that concept of race is an unnecessary social construct of academia when we have modifying words like systematic racism and interpersonal racism to catch all forms of the word.

Not enough intelligent people in those classes I guess.

Edit: What they seem to be doing is trying to say that racism towards whites is justifiable. I had one of the stereotypical liberals from my main forum tell me that racism towards whites doesn't count as racism because of it. Then another person informed me that even though they disagree, it's what is being taught on college campuses.

How racism is defined academically differs from field to field and from professor to professor. I was confused by the idea that "you can't be racist towards white people" until I probed deep enough into the issue to learn that under some working definitions, "racism" refers not to prejudice or discrimination alone, but to participation in or benefit from a societal or institutionalized system that racism is a product of.

The idea being that because white people are always in some way benefiting from such a system whereas people of colour have less equal, more mixed (usually worse) experiences in the same system, it's not possible to be racist towards white people--because that involves setting up a society and institution in which their whiteness results in their oppression, which describes probably no society currently in existence.

Not an expert by any means, but this is my understanding of what people mean when they say you can't be racist to whites. It's not because those people are libtards, it's just that they have a different working understanding of the term "racism" that is much more nuanced than the word the common public knows and engages with.
