Whiteness is a privilege that exists whether you are poor or not.

I didn’t see anyone saying he wasn’t ABLE to be objectified - more like, “poor you, attractive man, complaining about being seen as attractive...” And even objectification is different when it’s directed at a male. By which I mean, he can still be considered for more roles, and roles after he no longer is, while…

I agree with you in principle, dismissing an entire demographic out of hand only ends badly for all involved, especially when the reasoning behind the dismissal is based on stereotypes. There are far too many parallels between the rhetoric of Trans-Panic’ers and people who denounce the Patriarchy for my taste, there’s…

“There’s a balance between coddling people—being inclusive to the point of turning ourselves into doormats—and working for justice in ways that rightfully hold people accountable.”

How can you bring someone into the fold if you’re dismissing their problems wholesale based on their identity?

Ever think that maybe calling people IN instead of OUT, and trying to validate the experiences of the poor (even if they are white, male, cis, het) might yield better results?

No one can fight to give people rights they already have. Other people getting the same rights you have does not mean you no longer have them. It cannot be said too much that loss of privilege does not equal loss of rights.

I watched Game Change the other night (the Sarah Palin flick) and there was footage of him talking and I thought “There’s that little troll who’s always wrong about everything. I haven’t seen him in a while...what was his name...and I wonder what happened to him??” And here, today, I have my answer: Dick Morris, still…

There’s a lot he doesn’t realize.

Well, when women do it we’re whiny and trying to get what we don’t deserve. When men do it it’s righteous anger at not getting everything they expect handed to them. You see?

I recently learned that two of my male in-laws, who are both self-avowed feminists, really like going through topless espresso stands. I do what I can to take everything in stride and without judgment, but sometimes men are truly disappointing creatures.

Listen, people who are cis white men can be disadvantaged, e.g. economically disadvantaged, disadvantaged by class, discrimination against people who are not able-bodied or who are not mentally well, discriminated against if their are LGBTQ etc., however they are not disadvantaged on the basis of either their race or…

I do really (and I am being serious) think it has been tried - by individual women (myself included) that regularly comment here. By pointing out that men as well as women benefit from equal pay, equal rights, family leave, women’s right to control their own reproductive health, women feeling and being safe...

“The feminist staples of abortion, reproductive rights and equal pay continue to motivate female voters. But men are voting differently than women because of their dissatisfaction with job and wage competition from illegal immigrants”

This person said nothing about not liking a certain ethnicity. (White isn’t an ethnicity, by the way.) He/she did, however, make a sarcastic comment about “downtrodden white men,” the joke being that the description encompasses the people who run everything, make the rules, and have set things up to benefit those like…

because: nobody cares about their boners. - EGR

There are some pretty revolting men around, that’s for sure.

Men are revolting?

Her problem is not to attract female voters but to stop hemorrhaging male voters. But neither Clinton nor her advisers understand or are willing to accept this reality. So they keep trying to enhance her standing among women, making things worse and worse among men.
