No, Lo, of course no one alive today is responsible for slavery or for having denied women the right to vote. Perhaps I was too flip in the way I expressed myself for my point to register. You asked why white male heterosexuals do not have their own magazines, and I was simply pointing out that white male heterosexuals have inherited a legacy of relative privilege, while other groups have inherited a legacy of discrimination. Though no one alive created slavery in the nineteenth century, or deferred the female franchise until the twentieth century, the particular issues and challenges confronting these groups did not disappear with their respective constitutional amendments ending the most glaring and obvious legal affronts to their dignity and their freedom.
