You have given me something to think about, thank you.

You are correct that white men are responsible for the vast majority of violence. However, I’m concerned with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene that also call for violence. Also, there were a lot of white women involved in violence at the coup attempt at the Capitol. The sad truth is that white women have contributed to the oppression of minorities, not to the extent that white men have, but still significantly:

Also, there are examples of white women using their privilege to harass innocent black men like here:

I think when we discuss white privilege, it’s important to emphasize the part women have to play.

Perhaps when we are discussing white violence, the emphasis should be on men, but privilege applies to both genders. Does that seem like a fair way of looking at it?

You might be interested in this article I wrote discussing whether women who owned slaves should be considered feminist writers:

Thanks for the comment!
