Also at the atheist discussion some women railed and railed against white men. They literally said things like:
"White men will always stand in your way at a concert or block your view."
"My friend was pregnant in NYC and white men never gave up their seat for her, only men of color would do that."
"White men take up too much personal space, like when sitting they will 'manspread'."
Now, keep in mind I know that I know some of these women are married to white men and that at least one has a four year old white son. And these women themselves are white.
The white men's reactions around the table were most interesting.
A couple guys looked totally flabbergasted and offended, but were silent.
Another guy said: "When I lived in Boston I would always give up my seat to a woman on public transit."
One dude said to the ladies: "You are making a generalization." But he was not saying it as a critique, but as a way to justify their statements.
