Not to detract from the things offered already, as a general discussion about how to end sexism and all the other &#39;isms is important, but I may not have stated my question clearly originally. <br><br>Say your&#39;e at a party, and there&#39;s cake. The cake gets cut and distributed. You&#39;re taking your sweet time eating your piece of cake. I get to the party late, after the cake has been cut and distributed. You still have some cake left on your plate.<br>
 How much energy is appropriate for you to put into making sure I get some cake also? As it turns out, I&#39;m just not interested in the cake you&#39;re offering. I have no problems with you having some and me not. You offer to split your cake with me. You offer to cut the cake and let me choose which half to have myself. <br>
 Seriously, I&#39;m not interested in the cake. It has nothing to do with you or your cake. It&#39;s about not wanting cake. <br><br>Does this analogy have a place in a discussion about privilege? There are going to be some people at all levels of privilege, class, gender, etc, who just aren&#39;t interested in bicycles or community bike shops, no matter how accessible, open, oppression free, safe space providing they are. How do we know we&#39;ve done enough to accommodate the community, and when we&#39;re being pushy by expecting to have someone of every dynamic in the shop?<br>
<br>Again, I sincerely hope I&#39;m not coming across as the dickhead white male...and I would say that I personally have not and do not do enough regularly to address the things I could. <i>This is <b>ABSOLUTELY NOT</b> me saying &quot;enough with this accommodating already!&quot;</i> Just trying to figure out where the line is between being fair and offering what I/we have to someone who doesn&#39;t and being pushy with our interests towards people who just don&#39;t want cake. <br>
<br>Hope that make sense. <br><br>Thanks for the input, everyone. Love for each and every one of you reading this. <br>
