I think there isn't a black and white (no pun intended) rule when it comes to standing up for someone else.
There are situations where it's appropriate and situations it's not.
And it's hard to say across the board to keep your mouth shut if you are white and see another group being discriminated against. Or to always interject yourself.
I'm a woman and I think of the times I've been in a situation where I really would have appreciated a man stepping in so that I didn't have to be the one woman calling out something so blatantly misogynist.
Because then I'm seen as the bad person. The snowflake.
But other times, I think . Men need to shut up about what they think women need or want about our reproductive health because they don't know anything. But I sure would like it if they supported what we said.
My general rule is. I back people up if they say something about an injustice and show I support them.
But if I see blatant discrimination and injustices being enacted on someone, I will call it out.
And try my best not to draw attention to the person being discriminated against and make them feel embarrassed.
