As a straight white male it is my ...Sure, why not?<br /><br />As a straight white male it is my fault that every disgruntled lesbian, every marginal millennial, every illiterate vibrant, every shreieking femcnut, and every sexual freak show under the sun - isn't happy with the life they made for themselves. I learned long ago to so sides the source of the insult before pulling my guns or putting up my dukes. If stupid people want to call me names I am good with it, it's not like their taunts carry any weight. Long as they don't get in my face with it, they can fill there boots. Eventually they are going to have to own their failures, that's just how life is.<br /><br />So it is that stupid people hurl insults as the nation burns - at the only guys that can heal it and run it.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91466078337564087672017-06-27T19:30:57.275-05:002017-06-27T19:30:57.275-05:00I think the phrases "white fragility" or...I think the phrases "white fragility" or "fragile masculinity" work better as insults.

Sure, they'll say they don't want our approval, but this all falls in the "methinks thou doth protest too much" camp. Why can't you quit us?

Who has been here long enough to recall Titus's tributes to his "hog"? I recollect one of the first Titus posts that I was exposed to was a detailed description of a bowel movement he had, and then how he paid extra attention to prepping his anus in anticipation of finding a hot Indian at a club later that evening - might have involved some special talc. That stuff was never on topic but did provide some comic respite from more serious matters being discussed. alan markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765437265476376917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-68931905203209260022017-06-27T08:53:27.828-05:002017-06-27T08:53:27.828-05:00 CWJ said...
