What do "left" and "right" mean to you?

22. Women, apparently, are losers according to this metric

The reality is that women have and are traditionally tasked with raising children and, traditionally, sacrifice their own economic security for the well being of their children.

That's the traditional role and it's one that is still reinforced in society. Women who take time out of their careers to raise children are punished for this.

People who make sacrifices for their families are losers, according to this asshole.

But, if he's also a sexist, he doesn't recognize this reality.

If he's a fan of Tolstoy, it's pretty astonishing that he fails to recognize the importance of Jesus' moral teachings, esp. "blessed are the..." everyone he would call losers.

He measures everything in terms of financial wealth, at least in this piece.

Well, tell that to African-Americans who have contributed untold riches to this society via their creative responses to the assholes this writer calls "the winners."

Who was a winner? Pat Boone or John Coltrane?

This is what makes his definitions so insipid and so obviously a hand job to selfish assholes to massage their egos and justify their selfishness - the opposite of Tolstoy's vision.
