I’m not entirely white, but would “pass” as probably white to random strangers not paying much attention.

Being white must be fucking horrible. They’re scared of everything.

I know you’re joking, but, to give a serious answer:

I remember this too

“A suspicious man is pushing a pram on the bike path!”

Not to mention Emmett Till.

John Crawford and Tamir Rice were both killed by police officers called in by someone. So it’s too late for “gonna”

Imagine being so goddamn insecure and scared of living that a black man walking a baby on a bike path is cause to call the cops on someone.

This is an interesting point.

You make many points. This, though:

Entitlement is definitely a contributor to this. Men feel entitled to a woman. If life doesn’t hand them what they feel they are owed, they get angry. Women on the other hand....(at least this one)....so I’m not getting sex, not everyone gets to have the loving guy and awesome relationship and white picket fence or…

The follow up then becomes why do men get frustrated about lack of control? And that stems back to their ideas about masculinity. They believe to be a man they need to be in control. The solution to all of this is helping men understand that there is no one way to be a man or manly: skinny/fat , emotional/stoic,…

Me too. In fact my actual formerly indoor/outdoor cat is now firmly an indoor cat because I selfishly want her to live longer, much to her chagrin.

It’s funny when provided with the answer they are looking for, some people just don’t want to hear. That’s got to be on purpose, right?

Part of it comes from the belief that the world is ever-changing, and behaviors that were once tolerated, aren’t anymore. That’s why you see the Mens’ Rights Activism bullshit. “Well, pinching her ass is a form of flattery!”. Some of the most insufferable fucking people on the planet.

I think it goes beyond sexual frustration - it’s frustration that they are not in control of a woman or women.

WalMart. Which then gets a government subsidy for employing them. But that’s not welfare, because corporations are only people when it benefits them.

The advice I’ve heard a lot is “start your own business!” Which is great and I’m sure a lot of people would love to do that. But it’s kind of hard to do when you’re trying to make rent and eat and all that stuff. Never mind initial investments or... or... or...

Preach. Last month I applied to be a seasonal ice cream scooper and was turned down because they are (and I quote) “going in another direction.” But maybe next year?

What? Don’t be ridiculous. They just go down to the work orchard and pluck a job from the trees. Where the hell have you been living?
