This thread and this thread (which are both on the front page right now) perfectly illustrate the cognitive dissonance of the leftist mindset that is produced by the culture of victimhood. Essentially, progressives believe in a hierarchy of victimization based on race, ethnicity, sexuality and other factors. The exact structure of the hierarchy is not clear (i.e. who is a greater victim, a black woman or a homosexual?) except for the fact that heterosexual, Christian white men are at the very bottom, meaning they can never be victims and that they are always responsible for oppression. This means that these men essentially become a scapegoat for any type of non-progressive action taken by members of protected progressive victim classes.
So how does that work? "Street harassment" is the perfect example. Anyone who has been to London or any major cosmopolitan city in the United States knows that the vast, vast majority of "street harassment" or catcalling is perpetrated by men of color, usually black, hispanic or West Asian/Indian/Arab. Whether this is due to cultural or biological factors is irrelevant, the reality is that men from these groups represent the vast majority of the men responsible for catcalling women on the street. The videos posted in the other thread I link attest to this fact, as does both statistical and anecdotal evidence worldwide.
And yet never will feminists, the majority of whom are coddled white women, make a peep about the race of the perpetrators. It's always "men" who are responsible, not men of color. This is because progressives are incapable of assigning guilt or blame to a protected class, to a group with victim status. And so "men", which in the media, academia and legal system basically means "white men" (remember, white men are the ultimate oppressors in the progressive religion, essentially a Satanic group) are portrayed as being responsible. The result is that the vast majority of white men, most of whom are too pussified to even approach a woman while drunk in a bar, are vilified in our culture as potential rapists and cat callers. It's just a complete distortion of reality produced by progressive cognitive dissonance, and serves to further poison relations between the sexes and further emasculate white men ("Oh my God I can't say anything to that attractive woman, I don't want to harass her!"). Meanwhile, the men of color continue to give zero fucks, continue to cat call at will and are never called out for their behavior by feminists.
