How do other issues bother you on a "fundamental fairness level"? Such as the incidents of workplace harassment in STEM fields that have been coming out in the last year? Or income inequality / options available to people by class they were born in?

I notice a lot of people saying what you're saying, that safe spaces or clubs for certain types of people are the "reverse" of whatever ___ism they're trying to address.

Certainly you realize there are systemic issues that are causing much greater offenses to the idea of "fundamental fairness" yet you seem to concentrate specifically on minor conceptual issues with the methods of the people trying to address it. That's pretty telling.



Don't put words into my mouth.

Fundamental fairness is that we should treat each other equally. I think we should treat each other equally, regardless of skin colour, religion, or gender. I abhor sexual harassment and believe that people should get equal pay for equal work.

I also think like the author of this blog post that splitting people into smaller tribes creates an us vs them environment and makes everyone worse off.

I didn't focus on this 'one aspect' the person above asked how people thought about it and I responded why I didn't like those things.
