Very true.
We also really need to change society so that a woman of colour can write an article like this and not get crap for it. It shouldn't be that if a man posts something like this, he will be taken seriously (or more seriously than a woman). Sorry, no criticism of you at all, as I consider you a true male ally, rather my frustration with how things are.
Oh, there's no need to apologize. You're absolutely right.
I think it is great when everyone can equally get crap for writing articles online.
Pointing out who are true or untrue "male allies" is that you're also giving crap for people and not willing to take others seriously based on various things. You're just like the rest of us, giving crap for different reasons.
