Fifty years too late, white men are figuring out they’re in trouble

Even though I've been marginalized in the workplace due to my status as a white man, I'm still one of the few who actually get things done, so I guess they will let me stick around for a while.

As an aside, as a manager, I had to take a two-hour sexual harrassment course recently. The entire video never once portrayed a white man as the "victim" in any of those scenarios. The examples always showed a black person, female, Asian, or transgender person getting harrassed with usually a white man as the aggressor.

The funny thing is that in nearly 40 years in the workforce, most of it in management, I have never had a harrassment claim filed against me. On the other hand, I constantly have women employees hugging me, flirting with me and asking me how my marriage is going - with the not so subtle undertone that they can offer me comfort if it is not going well. A few years back, there was a woman employee who was always coming up behind me and rubbing my shoulders or arm, offering to get me coffee or whatever.

Of course, I would never complain about any of that. Would seem rather silly if I did.

It’s complex but one factor of many is white males in the 70s maybe even 60s had the power but were afraid to use it together collectively.

They didn’t want to be labeled with all the “ists” being thrown at them by the left.

SexIST
RaceIST
MilitarIST
ExtremIST
EtcIST

So they stood back and let the left advance.

Reality is a hard teacher.

Women will learn this.

The GOP is very uninspiring.

Agreed.

Individuals have power, not demographic categories.

Ukraine and the Neocons are part of the problem—not part of the solution.

They want us to unite while our leaders stomp on us at home.

That requires mind-boggling willful blindness.

Our enemy is right here—no need to go chasing around the world looking for more.

I have noticed when I go to the grocery store those few who are wearing masks fit the demographics you described.

They are signifying to the world their obedience to their masters.

It almost goes without saying:

We Conservatives read Atlas Shrugged and 1984 as cautionary tales.

Progressives read these same books as if they are the Owner’s Manual.

Did they steal the four yesterday? No accusations even on far right sources. Hmmm.

I refuse to argue with you. I know where you are coming from and I simply don’t view this like you do.

I understand. It’s not exactly a cut and dry topic. Have a great night.
