Do the people with that attitude (and I'll include you) believe that pubs and bars should stop the Ask for Angela/Ani campaigns that they run because attacks on women are still occuring?

I obviously agree that something should be done, about many things not just racist comments on social media, however I was simply suggesting (for want of a better word) that taking the knee is simply a gesture highlighting a problem that we've known about for years, and previous 'awareness' initiatives haven't really done anything to improve things.
Actually, in one sense, it's given people yet another thing to complain about, given that it's seen by some (as has been mentioned) that if you don't agree with it you're deemed as racist yourself
