It's not obvious? Because white males as a demographic are the most privileged people on the planet and not coincidentally also the ones most prone to petty, oblivious arrogance, tantrum-throwing, and egotistical man-splaining. The latter was demonstrated by the one in this NASA scientist's anecdote.

This robs people of their individual context. The UK Prime Ministers wife is Indian and astonishingly privileged. You are suggesting a poor mine worker from Romania is somehow more privileged based on how he looks.

Lumping people into loose categories (particularly based on skin colour) and then prescribing loose values to them is fascist and racist.

Is the context not that in STEM women often face sexism?

Do you think that the Prime Ministers wife is less privileged than the Romanian miner? How would you address the discrepancy with the group prescription?

No, no one thinks that, because part of the context there is that one of the people is married to a head of state, and one is a coal miner

You aren't misunderstanding anything here, loser, and we aren't dumb enough to fall for it

Of course, I have first hand experience of it.

Now respond to what I said

What did you say? I'll answer you, I've just lost the original question in all of your back and forth
