Amy SF, your post does make a lot of sense.
I'm a white female and I've never particularly felt held back by the fact that I'm female. Maybe because I never married, no kids and I'm relatively independent. I find my weight issue struggles a bigger issue for me. When I've watched TV shows where they show scenarios with different people of different skin colors, genders, attractiveness and how others respond, I think "yeah I could have told you that one"
I don't get the white male bashing mentality. One never knows who that person is they see walking down the street. What they experienced in their life, what they overcame. You don't know if that straight looking white male in a suit survived being beat up by his drunk father through his childhood or any other adversities. I certainly have never been harassed by anyone when I've been with a male and I've certainly been harassed alone. So I get that. But to think every white male has just had easy street in life isn't true.
