Actually yes you would. For the average person in the privileged position, “trying to do less racism” or “trying to be less misogynistic” is the crux of actioning allyship, especially when people are imprinted and socialized from a young age to be/act racist and misogynistic without knowing or understanding it. Kids can’t necessarily control that, but trying to undo it by being less racist and less misogynistic day by day is the necessary work of anti-racism and feminism.

When it comes to misogyny or rasicsm you wouldn’t tell someone to just try and do less of it. On a societal level that IS how we progress… Sorry but don’t let idealism block progress

If I think about how much I hate (some group) then I may be a racist based on that alone. If I don’t eat animal products but I fantasize about eating a cheeseburger I would still be a vegan. Nobody is going to literally say “just do less racism” but in practice we often only deal with small parts of someone’s racism.

comparing women and minorities to animals is what misogynists and racists do

The friction is precisely why I recommend start small. Better someone eat less meat and stick with it long term, than the same amount because they went completely meatless at once and couldn’t handle it
