To the mother in this story who is worried about the impact of false accusations on her poor MAGA hat wearing son maybe someone should tell her ass the story of Emmitt Till. I doubt she and her Brett Kavanaugh supporting kind would give a shit.

People that complain about safe spaces are really saying that only they deserve to be safe.

I hope they do something about Evangelical Christians next. I hear they’re super duper oppressed.

So how long before Twitter finds the girl and it turns out that the entire opening anecdote is complete bullshit and Esquire has to do some explaining about why they didn’t bother to vet it? I’m going to bet end of day today for the full story and tomorrow for the defensive editor tweets.

The Editor Demographic is a deeply bubble-wrapped set of people. I know them well. One of them was good enough to get drunk and admit to my face that she wished she grew up like me (in Trump country) because her life (of urban and suburban international homes) was boring. What these people do not want to admit is that…

Or the girl broke her arm in an accident and everyone in school spread a nasty rumor to torment her and his mom was one of the bullies. The worst bullies are children of bullies. They come from a long tradition of meanness. 

OR how about doing a ground breaking expose on what the girls in that school have to put up with in terms of Trump’s america.

“That girl could go home,” Ryan recalls his mom saying, “slit the whole side of her cheek with a knife, and come to school Monday and say, ‘Hey, look what he did to me.’”

“I guess girls sometimes just do that,” he says. “It happened once when my mom was in high school. A girl purposely broke her own arm just to get another person in trouble.”

This is Esquire bending over backward to show us how balanced and nonpartisan they are.

Editor bemoans “safe-spaces,” expects his kid should have a safe space. :P

Or that other person did break her arm but claimed not to and people bought that excuse.

This story is not about an average american boy, this story is about some really fucking shitty American parents.

This kid lives in a bigger, thicker ideological bubble than the editor of Esquire’s son ever could, but please go on about how The Ubranists are bad.

“It happened once when my mom was in high school. A girl purposely broke her own arm just to get another person in trouble.”

The piece opens with an incident that “still bothers” Morgan, where a girl in computer lab told him to stop opening and shutting the door. When he didn’t she “smacked him in the face” and he “smacked her back.”

Fielden’s editor’s note is titled “Why Your Ideological Echo Chamber Isn’t Just Bad For You”—with the subtitle, “it’s bad for your kids”

Won’t someone think of the poor white guy that just wants to use racial slurs, insult women and physically control them and not made to feel like he’s being an asshole? For real I’ve about had it with these fucking puff pieces. How about a long feature on how black and brown men are now being targeted because of these…

If kids in Juvenile Detention (where I work) gets a healthy smack from the realities of life, so should these MAGA chuds. Hey, your an awful person because your thoughts and ideas are awful. If everyone is calling you an asshole, maybe stop being an asshole.

Forgive me, Esquire, if I don’t want to bathe in a river of white, woman-beating, tears.
