Quote:My question wasn't "do you think there are things white males can't do because they are white males?", it was "do you think there are things whites can't do because they are white OR males can't do because they are male."

 

I believe there are things that white people aren't allowed to do because of their skin color and there are things that males aren't allowed to do because of their gender. His answer was no, there isn't (outside of gender physical impossibilities). I simply listed one double standard I experience on a day to day basis, which still fits the original question because of they key word OR.

Well sure, you listed one in particular where you have to deal with a chaperone just do the job you trained for. Why is that tho? Did it stem from some sexual mis-conduct on the part of a male to a female during some kind of evaluation? I don't know the reason so I'm asking.


It's unfortunate that a few sickos set a precedent that then makes these kinds of rules be put into place. Hell before 9/11 we didn't have to get practically strip searched at the airport either, but a few bad onions ruin the soup.


Generally speaking tho, I cannot think of too many instances where a male, white of otherwise, is discriminated against on the regular.
