    Step 1: … be born white

    Step 2: … be born male

    I was only able to achieve step 2. Too bad for me I guess.

      I guarantee you don’t need either quality to reach Ed Gein levels of notoriety. All it takes is effort.

      And a dedication to folk art.

      Step 3… Be given shit for being male and white by people much better off than you.

      Step 4… Get no reprieve from racism and sexism because someone before your existence looked like you and was these things so it’s okay to happen to you as revenge.

      Step 5… Do the one thing white males way better at than anyone else; suicide.

      And hope for re-roll

      Edit: You’ve just proved the point. I just shouldn’t exist anymore and it’s clear that’d be preferred. Thanks for the clarity.

        I’m not going to try and justify the people who think it’s ok to be bigoted towards white males. It’s not ok. I’m also not going to pull the “those people don’t exist” bullshit, because it’s bullshit.

        But no one of that particular flavor of asshat is here in this post or comment thread. So get out of your own head and get over yourself. For your own sake.

        Complaining about misandrists and/or people racist against white people is not acceptable behavior publicly. At best it makes you look socially incompetent, and at worst it makes you look like someone who wouldn’t mind being lumped in with nazis.


        On top of that, the amount of people publicly anti-“every white male ever” is pretty damn low lately. Low enough that you can generally get through life as if they don’t exist.

        It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen any news orgs worth mentioning run anything along the lines of “Young white men need to be taught not to rape”.

        If you can’t escape it, change the spaces you’re spending time online, and the people you are spending time around in real life. I haven’t heard that sort of shit to any significant amount for a very long time.

        i don’t think any of those four fellows in the OP killed themselves, and in fact, they all lived to ripe old ages.
