@Jaxk That’s why these women are termed as “radical feminists”, because most people – liberals included – realize that safe, open discussion and participation, from multiple people, are the requirements for true progression. I also think that there’s a difference between saying, “you’re a man, you can’t talk about abortion!” vs., “As a man, you may not have quite the same knowledge/experience as a woman”. That doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to talk about it, it just means that you should probably acknowledge that your understanding of that particular issue isn’t going to be as intimate as a female’s might be. There’s nothing wrong with it, either.
Just like as a white person, I fully acknowledge racism, but I will never, in any way, be able to personally understand it the way that a lot of minorities do, because I haven’t lived it to the same degree they have. That doesn’t mean I’m completely ignorant, it just means that my reality isn’t the same.
