Out of genuine curiosity, do you happen to be a white male?

I've heard that I could pass for a Turk, but yes - I am! I guess now you can label me as one of those typical entitled white males, which isn't ironic at all given that gender issues are often about fighting putting people in boxes like that.

I was just curious.
Putting people in boxes isn't the most horrible thing in the world, ya know? It can help you come to positive solutions (not only negative ones). Like giving money to women over men because the evidence shows that the net benefit for the entire community is larger.
That's just my opinion. I don't claim others are wrong, but I do claim that I'm right :).
