I am unsure if this is the proper tag, but if it is not then I am sorry and would hope that the admins correct me instead of deleting my post
So I saw a new post from TheTinMen and it got me thinking about the tragic case of Emmett Till. What if feminism is in some ways another lever that can be or is used to reinforce white supremacy, systemic racism and police brutality?
Think about it. By breeding distrust of men and avoidance of them, you create or influence stereotypes that they are dangerous. If you create that stereotype of dangerous men, you potentially create a criminal bias against them, especially towards men of color. This bias impacts average people, law enforcement and the courts who will treat false allegations as truth and proceed accordingly. After all, that's essentially what happened to Emmett Till. He was falsely accused by a woman and the men who murdered him got off because they believed they were serving justice to a "perpetrator." We see this now with the curfew in the UK, false rape allegations on college campuses, and so on.
Apologies if this came off as incoherent. Just figured I'd create some discussion on the topic and wanted to see if I'm wrong because I feel like I'm not.
