Wow — the level of mansplaining is simply off the charts! It’s quite remarkable. You are going to not only explain Brene’ Brown’s work to her, you are going to tell her what her real work is. Then you are going to tell people who have been harmed by racism or sexism or homophobia that they haven’t actually been hurt -it’s just them trying to blame other people. And because some White chick says it’s not real, we should discount the lived experiences of the millions of people who have experienced it. 🤦‍♀️

And then the cherry on top is that talking about pervasive harm actually denies the humanity of the perpetrator(s).

I don’t have any more bandwidth for this insanity — truly! Maybe this plays well at Aryan Nation meetings — it doesn’t make a lick of rational sense in the real world.
