People are saying some good things in this feminist rage thread. I have real difficulty with understanding that the white males actually feel oppressed, because it is so calculated seeming. Like they were studying the Third Reich(sorry, but Gobbels and the Big Lie is what I can think of right now, I'm really sleepy) and decided "Yea, we need some of this. We don't need to stoop to small lies, what we need is a lie so far outside of the bounds of objective reality that people will just believe it without questioning".

I mean, real oppression is all around, and they are spending their time obsessing over hypothetical blacks getting jobs? If whites were really that impacted, we wouldn't hear about how their brother's room mate's girlfriend's brother didn't get into Harvard, and like there was a black person on campus, so OBVIOUSLY they are a total idiot and couldn't have possibly say...studied, and of course, there aren't any stupid white people on campus- just being white apparently makes you smart,qualified for all jobs, and as a benefit, you have x ray vision, and if you're a man, your penis is prehensile.

Then again, I don't think your race actually has anything to do with your intelligence or qualifications, and I do tend to make the mistake of automatically assuming that people aren't racist. But seriously, it's like this with Christianity too. Like they act like they are oppressed, because they might have to pray quietly in school instead of having the teacher lead it, or like maybe they'll teach science in science class. But people, people, people, when the presidential candidates are fighting in the debate to see who can pander more to Christians, and millions of young people are risking getting STDS, because real sex ed might offend people of your religion-that's not oppression.

It's like they say in the thread- when you're used to being pampered, not getting exactly what you want NOW seems like the worst thing in the world. So like I'm used to blacks getting bad mouthed from everybody, so like some mild forms of criticism don't phase me, so it's bizarre to me to suggest that maybe whites may have a bit of a problem with racism, and have people act like I suggested killing all the whites in the entire world. Or like maybe a woman will suggest that maybe women should have rights, and she is called man hating. A man could rape ten women, kill twenty girl children, all while saying "die you filthy whores" and not be called woman hating.

I just don't get it, so to me, it looks like they are a big fat bunch of pussies. And I don't like wussies.
