that isn't the definition or criteria of punching down. its about whether you ACTUALLY HAVE PRIVILEGE or STATUS above another group...not whether you THINK you do. So then white people can claim they don't see themselves as better than Black people and make jokes about welfare queens? I think not.

and she would have had no way of knowing with any certainty if he felt he was superior to anyone

but most importantly...fuck all any of that matters anymore. This woman was suffering in the most awful way and its heartbreaking that she felt the need to take her life for any reason.
