One thing that Resetera gets wrong about a lot of things is that they assume every result is because of sexism/racism.
They look at an individual shooting and say this wouldn't have happened if he was white.
They look at a woman getting a bad response and they say it wouldn't have happened if it was a man.
The problem is that these things still happen in those other cases.
You can't look at a single police shooting and blame race. You can look at the overall rate and say that it'd be lower without racism. Say 1 white man gets shot and 10 black men get shot in an equal proportion area. You could look at the stats and say 9 of these shootings probably wouldn't happen if racism was gone, but you couldn't say which 9. Yet, people on resetera will look at every individual event like that and say "it's because of racism."
Similar thing with sexism. A man and a woman do the same thing. The woman gets criticism from 10 people, the man gets criticism from 1 person. So you could look at the statistics and see that 9 of those people probably wouldn't make a big deal if the woman was a man, but you couldn't say every person was being a sexist. One of those people just thinks that thing isn't acceptable regardless of who did it.
