[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6866588, member: 7006"] And this is exactly why crap against women and minorities continues. Because straight, white men still get bent out of shape when they get "insulted" by the people who are the ones truly being insulted and assaulted. Guess what? Being "nice" about it hasn't gotten women or minorities JACK SHAT thus far. Because all us straight white guys have had the... yes, PRIVILEGE... to not have to worry about it. So when they've said for years "Hey, this crap is going on!", we've just nodded and went on our way whistling. But now that they've stepped up and begun flinging the MILDEST of insults back at us (in comparison to what they've been suffering through for decades/centuries)... all of a sudden we're now all bruised and mad. "Hey... you don't need to say that! Why you have to use hyberbole and be insulting like that?" Because it's the only F-ING WAY IT SEEMS WE'LL LISTEN! That's why. And yes... if your ego can't stand the idea of being yelled at that people ARE DYING because we are members of a large pool of asshats who have not and are not doing enough [i]right now[/i]... then you need to suck it up. Sorry. It's true. So you've been insulted. Oh well. JOIN THE DAMN CLUB! The straight white male demographic is ONLY NOW... after CENTURIES... finally feeling a SMIDGEN of the hate and fear that women and minorities have been experiencing this entire time. So we don't now get to get all bent out of shape about it. Instead, we suck it up... we deal with it... and maybe... JUST MAYBE... instead of complaining about it we all as an entire demographic of people... we continue to work to change things. And really, just get over ourselves if our egos are hurt. We owe it to them to stop screaming about the splinter in our toe while everyone else is having their feet cut off. [/QUOTE]
