While you approached this in a way regarding class I am approaching this in regards to identity, one also chooses to be a man and once you mix that in those statements suddenly become personal. I've had both being a man and Muslim be used against me and they have both provided me benefits.
The way I see is these statements are also just ways of establishing "men" as the outgroup; encouraging tribalism. So being able to substitute one tribe with another becomes possible.
Nevertheless, I appreciated the well put response. It sadly can't really compete with my lived-in experiences. I still fight to leave the world better than I found it, just not along the people that have accused me of being a predator (both as part of a group or as an individual).
