“My feminism is intersectional”, says Jessica Valenti.

Intersectionality is the feminist code word for hating white men.

Note that the “angry white man” stereotype often goes a bit further than simply “angry white man” – often, said angry white man is also a “social misfit” or “loner” or a “loser” of some kind.
There has to be some sort of significance to that. The whole “loners are freaks” prejudice seems excessively elevated with respect to white males.

So I don’t need an exorcism to rid my new home of AngryWhiteMan demons? Well that saved me paying the local feminist high priestess to come round … 😛

In reply to Rachel. Thank you for the reply. Personally I think approximately 117 a year is a bit on the high side, but I am fairly sure the actual figures are bad enough to justify your mass shooting/circumcision comparison.

In reply to anyhowtown prufrock. I should clarify that this is estimated per year in the US, and the number varies. But this is the number they usually use in the media. The point was making is that less people die every year in mass shootings than infants dying from unneeded surgery. The number could be much higher because often doctors don't do follow ups with baby boys afterwards, and if they die of some unknown infection, it isn't always identified if circumcision was the cause, so it doesn't get logged. I rounded down from 117, because the number varied depending on who was giving it out. When I write these things, I often write it for the tumblr crowd that will notice it. So I go more conservative with the numbers. The exact number from the Dan Bollinger study was not needed for the point I was making and it's my mistake. I will edit to reflect this.

Thank you for the article. Male circumcision at 100 deaths a year, approximately? What is your source for this, please? I am aware of the Dan Bollinger study, and I know it has been very heavily criticised. I am open to the possibility that more circumcision deaths occur than are officially registered as such, but I have seen nothing to replicate or corroborate the Bollinger claims. Personally I am not a fan of routine elective circumcision, and a death rate of 18+ a year would be enough to make the death toll greater than mass shootings, but 100 a year, almost… Really? I need the evidence before I repeat to my peer group.

Daisy Deadhead takes it step further in this 2010 blog post:http://daisysdeadair.blogspot.com/2010/12/on-feminist-collaboration-with-state.html
This demonization of white men, like the demonization of black men, serves a gynocentric social and legal agenda.

“It’s a stereotype that is pushed in every realm. ”
Stereotypes are what lazy and stupid people use instead of thought. The effort of thinking clearly is to much for them. This is true on all reaches of the political spectrum.
