Why not just support a local business and not worry about the gender/race/age/orientation of the owner? Should I avoid if I find out the owner is white and black?

Now let’s go back to your scenario but instead of it being a Starbucks across the street from the Black owned coffee shop, it’s a Latino owned coffee shop. Which one do you go to? The one with the better coffee/service/atmosphere. Choosing to support one over the other based on the owners skin color is by definition…

You guys have the simple “whites screwed Natives, then screwed blacks” so the solution is easy... but here in Europe we have a much more nuanced and complex history, and we don’t have the easy marker of colour to pin it to.

Yeah, sometimes, the idea that “gender” is the first issue, can sometimes takeaway or cover for other subsequent issues that individual may or may not exhibit.

I’ve seen mansplaining, and I’ve seen whatever the term is for a guy not believing a girl can in fact do something better than or as good as him, or where he…

I’m so old dude. Old as dirt, I made $.35 an hour in my first full time job. That’s $20 a week with overtime. People talked down at me, and not just men, women, in fact, were the absolute worst.

What is jezebel for? Articles just like this.

I am a male engineer who works with plenty of other male engineers and a few female engineers. Lots of people do this, it’s not exclusively something men do to women. Actually I mostly get it from sales people, they have the sort of ego and drive that has them talking over people a lot. It’s not particularly sexist,…
