Basically pointing out that you can't stop being white or being male any more than a PoC woman can stop being either of those two things.
I have my own issues with the notion of "safe(r) space", but that's an argument I can only make by corollary, not by experience, being both white and male.
Yeah, I actually discussed this with my fiance last night and my basic refrain was "I want to understand, I really do, but I am white and male (and hetero and right-handed and American and middle-class), and I think that excludes me from understanding." At times, I feel it excludes me from the dialogue. I understand the need for a safe space, but I do think if any progress is going to be made, there has to be common space as well.
