But those are not aimed at white men in particular, which I believe was the group the post was saying was disenfranchised. 47 minutes ago, StellaM said: Actually, some young white men are, just as some young white women are. This misunderstanding of intersectionality drives me up the wall. They are NOT disenfranchised on the basis of race, that's all. And that's big. But does not speak to whether or not they are disenfranchised in other ways. All of which is irrelevant to the question of 'what makes men kills people at worship' ? Oh, certainly. I was only responding to the idea that because they are white and male they are disenfranchised. Not trying to say that people can't be white, male, and still face similar issues, based on other demographic factors such as religion, sexual orientation, etc etc etc. Heck, short men make less money than tall men, in a way they are less enfranchised 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordinary Shoes asked for any examples. Tada. Personally I am just glad Christians in this country have never had to face actual persecution. I don't understand the need of those who want to pretend they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
