I didn't say they didn't have problems. Most all societies are misogynistic to varying extents all on their own. And that's what the minority woman was predominantly commenting to.

But the men in her small town no doubt had residual ideas about manifest destiny and white supremacy. I come from a small rural town too. I'm not a minority, but I know EXACTLY what she's talking about.

And these guys... When it comes down to it, they're pissed because they're losing competitive advantage and an underclass to forever plump up the pillows they rest their laurels on.

They've always been able to say to themselves, "At least I'm not a woman. At least I'm not Black. At least I'm not a filthy immigrant who can't even speak English right." to soothe their egos when things got tough.

They coped by knowing it was worse for others.

They can't do that anymore. The jury is in. They are not naturally superior. It was always unfair systemic advantages. They've been had.

They always tell on themselves. Like that song Rich Men North of Richmond. Coulda had a great working class song of hardship. But he just had to poke the possum with those fudge rounds. Telling on himself.

They do it every time. Racial and gender grievance based on belief in inherent superiority.
