They talked about the same stupid post by the same stupid guy over on Unfogged as well and one commenter, A White Bear hit precisely why Caplan’s post was not just dumb, but offensive:
Whether a society is just or not should not depend on separating one group out and saying that if we can argue somehow that white straight women weren’t oppressed, then a majority of people aren’t oppressed. But (a) he doesn’t even acknowledge that some women are, in fact, Jewish, black, or gay, and (b) this kind of shit has been going on forever, trying to get white straight women to be collaborators in continuing an oppressive society. The white straight bourgeois part of the feminist movement is mostly about waking up one day and going, “I was told I was a beautiful princess and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!” What T-shirt?, sez all other women everywhere.
