I dunno tildeb, your feelings and how society selects your experience can be markedly different… :)

Well, the answer has to be nebulous enough to hide any need for facts and fact-based reasons common to all; strictly emotional. I thought ‘lived experience’ opens the door to just this fact-free feeling-based metric.

On the metric described I give you full marks.
I was a little worried though, one never knows when people go over to the dark side. Although I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t go full Anakin on us. :)

You don’t know the power of the Dark Side!
PoMo ideology is so seductive, so easy to feel morally superior, donchaknow, because it needs little if any self-reflective critical thinking, knowledge, or in-depth understanding. Seeing the world through a binary power system and selecting a side based on ‘correct’ emotional tribalism – on behalf of standing up for the victims, it goes without saying – is just the kind of conquering team one can join to rule the galaxy! It’s all about emotional context – being seen as a Member in Good Standing on the Right Team – and little to do with ethical content of actual complex issues… or any desire to actually better understand them.
