Well I just quoted what you said? You said your opinion on women's rights isn't as valid as your wife's, because she's a woman and you're not. I'm saying I don't agree that this is the case, your opinion on women's rights is every bit as valid as hers. She is obviously more qualified to talk about certain nuances, but by and large you can talk about women's rights just as well as she can. You have a lot to add to the debate, because while you've never been a woman, she (I assume) has never been a man. So if you're talking about equality then your experiences are very important, otherwise how do you establish what equality is?
There was a post a couple of pages back where somebody was effectively saying men will never have been inappropriately touched, or had people say unwelcome things to them. This appears to be something a lot of women believe to be true. It's not true at all though, both those things have happened to me countless times, and I know they're not uncommon in society. It's important that those things are clarified I think, if you don't know what other people are experiencing then you can't possibly know whether what's happening to you is in any way out of the ordinary. The effect that these things have on women is - generally speaking - much worse, but it's a popular misconception that they only happen to women.
In this case, you're saying that only people of colour can define what racism is. I don't agree, my point was that just because a person of colour believes something to be racist doesn't mean it is. White privilege definitely does exist, but I know it exists because of lots of statistical evidence that tells me it does, not just because a person of colour says it does.
Again, I completely agree with your overall stance.
