I'm an old white man.. and it's punching up, not punching down.

And you, sir, are becoming the problem you're complaining about. Don't kid yourself that it's fine for you to do because of the targets you're choosing.

It is far from being a level playing field. The message varies greatly depending on the sender, receiver and context, right? I think it's quite OK to call out your fellow stereotype when they're being dicks.

So that makes it fair to unfairly stereotype others?

Call out your fellow [members of a group that contains you] when they're being dicks, sure. We need that. But don't stereotype them to do it - we don't need that.

It's more than that. http://bit.ly/1sLUaQP

Justice would be 'punching wrong' regardless of up or down.
