Is It an Epistemic Injustice?

I wasn't clear why the injustice that you talk about actually is an injustice. Is it because people lose their dignity through not being treated with respect? Or is it because knowledge won't come out in that way? There is a general dysfunction which is a second thing. But my particular concern has been with whether the individual speaker is wronged by getting the wrong level of credibility. It seems to me that if I give paternal figures an excess, I don't wrong him. Though very likely if you look at a system where one group's getting too much, there's bound to be someone else who's not getting enough. And they're the ones who are suffering the epistemic injustice.
