I don ' t see how these two ideas necessarily intermingle . I ' m opposed to racism and sexism but it goes both ways . People who treat women like shit cause they ' re women piss me off but it pisses me off just as much to hear people say fuck all men , they ' re all awful , men are all misogynist because it ' s the exact same thing . I can understand why someone might sayit ' s a natural reaction when they ' ve been beaten down by a single group primarilybut I don ' t think it ' s acceptable to respond to bigotry with more bigotry . At that point you ' re no better than the people who do it to you . If you respond to people seeking to help you with the same kind of racism or sexism you claim to experience daily , it should come to no surprise that these people no longer want to help you .
