I have logically proven my point. You just don't see how your view is problematic. I can only do so much.

Oy.

Notice how women rarely blather on about how stories about a specific male-centered story don't tell the women's p.o.v.?

Lady I'm not asking you to defend your extremely obvious attempts at derailing an important conversation, we've all had plenty of your self-serving justifications already.

Because the piece is about the dynamic between white women and women of colour. It was ONE PIECE. Not a thesis, not a book, not a comprehensive essay.

It's that, as well as the bleating, "What about the menz??!!?"
