      Exactly, lazybear’s take is very close to the moronic thinking making people believe that men can’t be raped.

      Stop making simple concepts complicated.

        It’s not an original thought, but a very publicly taught one. Which was a redefinition made by some well meaning academics and activists who wanted to narrow the focus of civil rights work to the most egregious violations.

        (Which would have been a laudable goal except that it makes everyone fight about what “racism” means instead of solving anything and implicitly tells poor whites that their economic oppression doesn’t matter.)
