White Male Anger

Anonymous
I think CIO as babies makes them angry. In the old day, all the black nannies were raising these boys and while they still grew up cruel and entitled, they were not angry.

Yup, white women are very low on the totem pole in the oppression olympics. Remember how a white woman falsely accused a black man of assault in Tulsa, which sparked off a huge race riot/massacre and burning down of black businesses?

White women have a LOT they should be ashamed of and need to pay reparations for. They only get about +0.5 bonus points, for their vaginas only, in the oppression olympics, and should be near dead last for diversity quotas due to their historical privilege.


White women need to pay reparations? GFY u fat cow.

White males are basically like cartoonish villains at this point. Every white dude is now a nazi, slave owner or a woman oppressor. The media enables the blatant and racist characterization of white dudes. It must make people insane when any white dude shows or feels zero guilt for being a white dude.

I mean we all know we couldn't start equally outrageous threads targeting black males, hispanic males, white women, or any other group without outrage over sexism, racism, or claims that the thread lacks sexuality sensitivity.



I say start with the family. Moms and wives need to give love and support to these males.

Lots of male characters and male leads. What are you talking about?

I mean, there are some without male leads, but certainly not even half. How much representation do you need for your boy, and must it really be that highly prioritized over everyone else?

Why cant you son look to female role models? Girls have had to look to male role models for years! My nephew an avid skier just wanted a famous woman skier because that is his role model! If you are showing him old stuff he will get thr ideas that only white men can do stuff and save the day.

Your son wont break if he is shown women or POC as lead actors!

I hate when someone says it had "swung too far the other way" where we were you when yhe great white male way was the only way?



There have been strong female role models in the media, it's just that the media does it horribly these days and shoves the diversity crap down your throat. They used to do it better back in the old days. Evvvvvvvvvvvveryone loves a strong female character like Ripley from Aliens, or a strong black character like Sidney Poitier. But these days, they do diversity for diversity's sake, and it is lame as hell. It is phony grandstanding to cater toward an agenda. Everyone can see through the flimsy efforts.

Agreed. It is forced and contrived. Every ad these days features a white man/black woman couple. This is a really tiny percentage of marriages IRL. A white/Asian couple would be more realistic. But, no, the media, government and corporate America seems to have this rabid compulsion to pander to black people this year and earn their SJW points.


Corporate America cares about the money. They always have. So when you see more diversity in advertising, it is recognizing the reality of who is spending money, period. That's why the cleaning product ads are STILL all directed at women.


No, they do a LOT to mold cultural change in the US. It is not all about the money, or you would not see corporations making really political statements that alienate half of the country. They have political goals.


Wrong. Corporate America is all about the money. Most Americans said they support BLM, and boom, all of a sudden there is Target "taking a stand." People 18-34 overwhelmingly support racial and gender equality and are comfortable with same sex marriage and intermarriage. Nike was ahead of the game a little with support of Kaep, but that's only because they know their buyers.

My kids are just out of the preschool cartoon age and the majority of those cartoons had all male characters with one token female. One of my daughters asked why there’s only one girl in Paw Patrol, or Agent Oso. Boys are still the default and the “norm.”

The gillette commercial a while back that was basically proselytizing about 'toxic masculinity' was an absolute farce. It was a pathetic display of pure pandering to an agenda. The commercial basically painted all men as rapists and boys as rapists in training. It was so ridiculously stupid that I haven't bought gillette razors since.

I agree. Both my grandmother and my mom raised all their kids CIO (neither had any help) and we have all turned out angry and anxious.

These are all male voices, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NPR_personnel. I don't know how many are white, but I am sure some are, and I'm not sure why that is necessary.

I hear a lot from Ira Flatow, Jack Speer, Steve Inskeep, Peter Sagal, Scott Simon, Andy Borowitz, David Brooks, Corey Flintoff, Noah Abrams, Ari Shapiro, and Dave Mattingly -- and they all seem to be white men.

I took out female names from the link. Not nearly half.

For those of us familiar with toxic masculinity, the ad rang true. But of course you can spend your money as you wish.

This whole attitude is a lot like when a woman speaks 10% of the meeting and men complain that she was domineering and estimate she spent 70% of the meeting talking. Your perspective is f***ed.

I am sorry. Do any of their children also support NRA? Usually it goes hand in hand. I would suggest deep breathing exercises or other calming techniques.

There's nothing political about an interracial couple. If you're alienated by that you deserve to feel alienated.
