^My conclusion is that the current agenda of anti-racism, coming to us via the States, has taken attention away from a far more dangerous and invidious view of women as objects being threaded through the minds of boys and men by pornography, and that that is currently far more dangerous than racism, which is recognised and generally considered unacceptable^
Just imagine being black and a woman, MOnica...
It's encouraging to hear that some of the younger generations are becoming more ope to diversity and disapproving of racism. But it is still rife in older generations.
I agree that misogyny is a huge and ongoing problem, but I really can't see that one has to chose between decrying racism and decrying misogyny.
Racism and misogyny, have encountered the latter personally, the former as a young wife in service quarters with my niece, from mixed parentage. They were out playing, a child called her a racist name, and said child was immediately shouted down by my daughter. Proud of my lass. A generalisation of racism is rife in older generations does not equate with what I have seen through my life working with the NHS, although I was once called a white b…., by a West Indian lady who I went to attend. All age groups and communities can have misogynist and racist elements, to single out the older generation (white is the impression I have) is an unfair generalisation. www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/28/uk-schools-record-more-than-60000-racist-incidents-five-years
