Punching up and punching down are extremely different and your comparison is deeply disingenuous.

Black men don't hold positions of power in society simply by being black. Black men don't get off with nothing but a slap on the wrist for serial sexual assault because "we don't want to ruin the promising life he has ahead of him".

Knock it off with the false equivalence.

Because the stereotype of crossing the street when heading towards a black men isn't a thing? Just because you don't believe it don't make it untrue. I bet if you'd honestly be surprised. But your probably still shocked when a priest molests a child.

You didn't read his response correctly, and your response comes off as nonsense because of this. Replace black with white, and the comparison is more accurate. Understand the dynamics between oppressor and the oppressed, and the different ways similar rhetorics are used to muddy the waters to create disingenuous conversations. "It's sexist because women are saying men are scary" is a bad take.

Dear Dr. Leg your mind is made up cool. Good luck with your crusade. Why don't you get back to asking important questions now like weather a woman would rather fuck a sparkling vampire or a tan werewolf? https://youtu.be/O7jN9_vB174
