The Comments Section, Part 10 (Human Rights Posts)

Facebook post from July 15th, 2017:

To any men's rights people out there: You do not need to campaign for your rights because your rights as white men are not in danger. That is why people find your efforts offensive.

While women, black people, and the LGBTQ communities are trying to bring attention to the fact they're discriminated against, men's right activists are out there bringing attention to themselves like children who feel left out.

White men are not in danger from discrimination. Hogging the spotlight only distracts from and worsens the actual discrimination issues.

It's so sad that so many Americans lack enough common sense to make this a problem... We need to do what we can to stop contributing to this issue. We are a large part of why so many doctors just zone out and don't even care.

If I were a doctor in those situations, in order to survive, I could totally see myself giving up the fight eventually and just writing out the requested prescriptions. And that's what reinforces the spreading drug addictions.



I'm quite alarmed by those doctor suicide statistics, and I think continuing to bring a whimsical attitude to their day and thanking them for their efforts and tedious work after each visit might go a long way in helping with that.

So black people have been getting shot or otherwise harmed and killed left and right by neo-nazi racists for years. Lots of them. And the only outrage and coverage it was getting was on the news and social media, and some protests.

One white girl gets killed by neo-nazis, and now it's all over the news and social media, but now suddenly it's also being talked about with more widespread variety on different networks, people in high places are saying stronger things, Illinois officially labels neo-nazi groups as being terrorists, and the public outcry generally seems more intense.

Nothing has changed except that the racists have stopped hiding their faces, started targeting white people, and started showing more of what they truly are by wielding torches.


Ughhhh.....

I had a mother with her two kids snicker to themselves in the lobby when I was getting my birth certificate changed. The mother said, with a snickering smile on her face, "He used to be a man." Her daughter chimed in, "I wouldn't wanna be a boy!" and they giggled quietly.


Yeah. You wouldn't want to be a boy. That's great. Neither did I!
