News that a university lecturers’ union has banned straight, white men from attending their equality conferences in a bid to create “safe spaces” is deeply depressing.

....excluding straight, white men from taking part in these conferences completely undermines their point.
How are people expected to tackle minority issues when, in the most crass manner, one of the root causes of that problem is specifically excluded from participating – as though it didn’t exist?
It is also incredibly ignorant to suggest that white men cannot – and don’t want to – fight for equality.

When I hear the term “white guilt”, I hear “white competency” combined with envy and jealousy.
Well whatever it is, it isn’t an equality conference, it is a “be jealous of whitey” conference.
“Nice list, but you forgot fermentation and distillation of alcohol.”
I do believe that civilization would not exist without those inventions...though I believe fermentation was invented in mesopotamia, and some of the very first cuniform writings were for accounting associated with brewing. So it is a very good argument that writing came into existence as a result of brewing.
White is the new black, but unlike men saying they are women, no identity changes for race are allowed.
White is the new dhimmi, but conversion isn’t possible to reach the free levels of society.
White is the new untouchable, because you’re borne into the despised class and doomed to stay there because of the sins of your ancestors.
Where are Paul Ryan, Newt and all the other pansies? When are they going to speak out against this?
Frankly, I don't see why any self respecting White man would want to be part that "equality" conference.
Fine. I’m a native American lesbian women. Now let me in.
Women.
Yes, with a split personality.
It feels like it’s time to raise HL Mencken’s Black Flag.
Read my tag line. Whites, especially males are being targeted.
Well after inventing brewing they had to invent writing. Otherwise they would forget what was on the bar tab.
very good! So Orwellian...
And it’s all happening in what used to be our country...a country founded by a bunch of straight white males!
Why and how did we let this happen?
“And it’s all happening in what used to be our country...a country founded by a bunch of straight white males! Why and how did we let this happen?”
This happened because contrary to what leftists want people to believe, white males are the biggest believers in fairness, justice and righteousness. When a group comes to us with what seems a reasonable grievance that violates our founding principles, WE RIGHT THE WRONG even at the expense of our own power. Look at history, blacks didnt force whites to free them, they appealed to our sense of what is right and white men freed them, same for women’s rights, and all the other groups who now hate us. We tried to right the wrongs and they used it against us. The trouble is as soon as these groups gain power they ignore the principles they claimed to believe. Blacks never believed in all men being treated the same, it was just a ploy. Just like women never believed in equal rights. They all demand privileges based on their race or gender and put themselves ahead of us. And as our power declines the world goes to XHIT.
Discrimination.
Sue the bastards, just on general principles.
Equality conference? Or the new supremacist conference? Do they really want equality? Or is what they really want supremacy?
What straight white man would go to this anyway? I could see bearded beta hipsters. Look how they treated Milo and he’s gayer than gay.
