This combination I refer to as "victim culture" - the notion that victims can do no wrong. But you may have a better name...
Isn't the phrase victim culture better reserved for you and your beliefs?
It's a phenomenon, whatever we call it. I've given you the opportunity to suggest a more neutral name if you want. If you choose not to reply, don't complain about my usage.
And no, I don't believe that victimhood is particularly interesting. I argue for universal principles and common humanity.
After all you're alleging without evidence the idea that white men are being victimised and treated unjustly.
You're confusing me with someone else - I don't post about white men or black men. I post about moral principles and standards of behaviour.
And you're claiming that there's no evidence of systematic racism or sexism:
Never said that. If you were prepared to define your terms I might well agree that such things exist.
...that white men as victims of the left can't engage in systematic injustice.
Anyone can be unjust. Systematically or otherwise. But it seems like white men are at least as divided as any other group...
...Yes, I agree. And I think the fear of losing their identity is operating for both men and women who oppose feminism and the societal changes feminists advocate and work for.
Yes, I agree. And I think the fear of losing their identity is operating for both men and women who oppose feminism and the societal changes feminists advocate and work for.
Yes to both of these. I had to learn about the reality of racism and all it carries with it from friends' recounting their experiences, and from observation. But I've certainly had ample first-hand experience of sexism.

You keep asserting that it's a phenomenon on the left. Assertions do not suffice to prove existence.
On the other hand, it seems all the posters on this thread who've expressed an opinion, and not only the usual suspects, agree that "victim culture" is an accurate characterisation of your position.
And no, I don't believe that victimhood is particularly interesting. I argue for universal principles and common humanity.

I believed you, amybo. More fool me...

Making sense of them would do irreparable damage to their substance and character.

No, you don't. You're just canting.
