I agree, but to change that, to make this world more empathetic, we can’t just say “well tribalism is real so I will judge you based on the tirbe I think you belong to” we have to both accept that tribalism is real and has a real affect (which in the context of this post can be seen in rape statistics, domestic abuse statistics, etc) and that each human is an individual that has nothing to do with any tribe or statistic until proven otherwise.
If you asked me “who is the more oppressive gender in our society?” I can easily answer “men” but if you ask me “between 1 man and 1 woman, who is more oppressive?” All I can say is “I don’t know them”
It’s the goal is to improve things and educate people about choices they can make. It’s depressing that so many are so self unaware and point out the failings of others without seeing themselves in the mirror. Two steps forward and one step back seems to be the way.
