America & Sexism

The worst thing to be is a Middle Class or Poor White Man in America.

Comedy shows have consistently downgraded middle class White maen for the last two decades. The Simpsons has an idiot husband and a wife that carries him. Family Guy is another example. Middle class white men are displayed as stupid and ineffective, yet they are still viewed as having a hand in slavery.

Yes, being a poor black woman is a hoot when compared to being a middle class white man. I just don't even...

Middle class white men were also shown running the country in The West Wing. Maybe the fact that they get lampooned the most in comedy merely represents that they are the dominant social group and hence the most obvious target.

how dare you suggest that white male privilege might be the reason people feel safe making them the target of ridicule!

It is guys like you actually who make men look bad. As soon as a man choses to disengage from "female pedestalization," white knights in shining armor like you begin to attack them with shaming language, mud-slinging tactics and name-calling. You should be ashamed of your behavior.

Either discredit the sources which I have cited with evidence or SU.

even without ever meeting the candidate, resumes that have ethnic names are far less likely to be called in for an interview, much less gain employment, than are those typically associated with whites.

pop culture can eat a dick

I agree that pop culture can eat a dick, but you and I are the minority in this. most people are........malleable. so the issue remains that the vast majority of people are going to have their hearts and minds influenced by tabloids, television, and music.

are you black? are you poor? or would you consider yourself privileged?

actually, the point I was making was about the real world issues faced by every other group of people that are considerably more serious than being lampooned in cartoons.

I'm immensely privileged in almost every intersection you can think of. Class, race, assigned gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, (currently also age)...I'm playing life on easy.

Wow, it's like OS flashed the idiot signal and Raisen and SW showed up in their capes and cowls.

What is your understanding of the word "patriarchy", S_W_LeGenD? What does it entail?

Perhaps we should have an agreed upon definition to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

You chose to overlook sources that I cited to support my points; I will do the same in response. *** for tat.

why don't you make a point for me to debate, or clarify the type of evidence you would like me to provide?

So am I. Everything outside of the one comment about industrialized nations was specific to America. My points stand, imo.

lol. I know what you mean by this. But colloquially, it would be easy to say you're not.

not really a conservative. but ov is blatantly a leftist. I dislike conservatives and liberals equally. conservatives twist the truth. liberals verbally attack.

Matriarchy is the opposite of patriarchy. And USA is in transition phase; from Patriarchy to Matriarchy. Maybe in a few decades in the future, this transition will be complete.
