While I agree with this and feel as an egalitarian we need a movement to get behind to truly come together as equal human beings I don't think this is the way. This is a legitimate problem it seems and one that would occur with any man of any race. I've had similar experiences. My sister[who's practically a crack whore] stabbed me when I threatened to call the cops on her if she didn't leave our(my parent's) home. I called an ambulance and left only to have my mother and older sister come into the room where I was getting stitches and slap me across the face. Telling me I can't do that to her. She's family and she's pregnant(third child, has been evicted 5 times in 2 years and spent 6 months living off the couch with her dealer husband. Even when not living with us she spent the better part of those two years sitting on our couch till 1 a.m. letting her kids run wild and destroy everything.

I got fed up and decided to act on the feelings everyone in my family expressed around me. No one liked her being around. She's a nuisance. Got stabbed for it and slapped by my mother and sister for telling her off but no one said a word to her about stabbing me. They demanded I apologize to her or they'd kick me out of the house. I told them to fuck off and will only ever apologize when she comes begging for my forgiveness.

2 months later and nothing happened. Still live with my parents but no longer eat with or even talk to them(already paid my own bills and bought my own food). Time to save up for moving out.
