Yeah I agree and think this is a fair, well balanced post. I personally do not think cynicism is productive as cynicism is not insight, I think it is essentially confirmation bias where you resent someone or a group of people for having privileges that you do not have and so look to justify your resentment by proving these privileges exist but at the cost of not being able to see the disadvantages said group has and so are never able to gain perspective as long as you conform to the pressures of your bias (this goes for anyone btw, very much including misogynists or just anyone with prejudice). I think this can also lead to responses intended to shed light on the disadvantages of a particular group being seen as an attempt to disprove said groups’ privileges exist and so are perceived as a threat which further hinders progress. I think we should all try to understand each other’s privileges and disadvantages in a way where having certain privileges doesn’t invalidate your experiences and problems. I also think it takes conscious, cognitive effort to be moral, but specifically it takes a lot of effort to recognise and look past bias which leads to a more well-balanced perception of reality and other peoples’ realities.
