Omg. This! You’ve named one of the central irks of my own experience in life.

It’s one thing to theorize about these broken pieces of social machinery. But it’s another to stare in confused helplessness at the man in your life who is pretty damn woke, wondering why he still insists on a familial conversation centered on the male experience.

You KNOW this guy isn’t a jerk. You know he doesn’t mean to be oppressive. At all.

But there’s just something deep down inside of him that doesn’t know how NOT to be centered on self.

Damn, Yael Wolfe. This is one of the very best descriptions of privilege and what it feels like to either have it, or not!

I think it’s WELL worth revisiting this topic, especially with your scalpel of a pen. Even if the convo has happened many times before. There is still much more light to be spread on the topic.
