Everyone needs protection in some form or another.
The point, is that everyone deserves a fair shake and equal shake. There
is no arguing that except to make a argument on false pretence.
If a woman is being harassed in this community, it is not o.k.
If a man is being harassed in this community, it is not o.k.
If a transgender is being harassed in this community, it is not o.k.
If a homosexual is being harassed in this community, it is not o.k.
I have been accused of being a fat hater. My crime? I suggested that
generally speaking, obesity is a matter of diet and exercise. Worse? The
individual started the conversation and I am also classified as obese
(barely, I won't be in a month).
I have been accused of being sexist because I asked if there was chalk
(for bouldering) that was better for women because their skin is
generally softer and the chalk wasn't staying on the respective persons
hand. A scientific sexist fact.
I have been accused of being sexist because I said it wasn't sexist that
Samsung doesn't make full feature/performance phones that are smaller
for a woman's hands.
The tl;dr; here is:
If a "human" is being harassed in this community, it is not o.k..
If a human is not being respected in this community, it is not o.k..
Anything that tries to create an unbalanced protected class is a
non-starter.
Sincerely,
JD
