A good post on what it is, and where it is, and why people — including "young(ish) white dudes" should be speaking and acting out against it.<\/p>\n

'I am a young(ish) white dude in America \u2014 and in fact I am a soundly middle-class white dude in America \u2014 which makes me a very lucky fucking ducky. I\u2019m not quite as lucky as say, a rich white dude in America, but hey, whatever. So, you might wonder just why I\u2019m writing this post. After all, one would think I am best served by keeping my own young(ish) white American dude interests at heart. If writing and publishing is<\/i> tilted favorably toward me, well, maybe I\u2019d be best served by shutting my fool mouth and riding this sweet, sugary wave to its conclusion. Nnyeaaaah, no. I think the community is broken. And if the community is broken, all members are, too. That means me. That means you. I want a healthy writing and publishing environment and that doesn\u2019t mean ignoring other groups to make my group look better. If we are to assume that we\u2019re all on the same team, the same boat, the same Galactic Arcology drifting toward our star-born utopia, then I want everybody to be treated equally and treated well. I mean, I have a wife. I have a mother and sisters. I want a daughter one day. I don\u2019t like a world where they\u2019re less than me. I don\u2019t like a world where they\u2019re targets and victims.<\/b> And so, ta-da. Here I am.'<\/i><\/p>\n
