When groups are "challenged" they may protest that the challenge, and may object to charges that they are guilty of oppresion or unfairness or discrimination. Are such allegations automatically valid because someone makes them? And, more importantly, because they are committed by a member of one group (white males) does that mean all white males are complicit? I think that's why some of the men on Erastosphere reacted to what they see as an unfair generalization.
