1. "Men's Rights". Oh, puhleeze. More White, Christian males playing "victim." Arrgh!

Thu Dec 19, 2013, 01:43 AM

Dec 2013

I wish somebody would do a study on how the most privileged members of American society insist on viewing themselves as victims of those groups who have actuallybeen victims historically of White, Christian males--especially women & minorities. I suspect it has something to a perceived loss of their "privileged" status or something. It is so very tiresome listening to some well off White guy whine about how rough he has it. Sorry, I guess I got a little off track there. Not all of them are whiners, of course, but it's reached epidemic proportions. A good example is that incident involving the female African American professor attempting to demonstrate the insideousness of institutional racism & White male students filing complaints against her. Again you whiners--and you know who you are--GROW THE HELL UP.

Well, we can't dismiss fiction just because it's realistic, either Orrex Dec 2013 #126

I don't advocate "controlling" anything except *real* videos of rape and torture. nomorenomore08 Dec 2013 #128
