(Which, if you analyse things even momentarily, also means you're not a real man if you're not a braying jackass, a coward who throws companions to the wolves while screaming off to save your own life, and a mindless consumer who spends most of his time staring at a portable television showing sports and sports ads. In other words, if you're not a baby having your whims catered to by the moment.)
This is deeply broken.
It's a shame, really. It was one hell of a championship, if you're into handegg. No, seriously, it was the best game I've seen in a while. It's not just the let's-start-the-second-half-with-an onsides kick call (which was brilliant, as was the cut to the Indianapolis coach literally gaping - spectacular directing work there), no; I really thought the quality of play up and down the field - but particularly of both offensive lines - was just marvellous. You really got to see two impressive coaches and teams at work here. From a game standpoint, that was nice.
Too bad about the pathetic, insulting packaging wrapped around it.
fengi, here, via nihilistic_kid:HAVING TO PRETEND THE FUCKHOLE IS HUMAN.The misogyny really was just laid out there this year. How horrible and emasculating it is not to be a total ass all the time; how if you're forced to choose between your automobile's tires and your wife, if you're a real man, you'll throw your wife out of the car in front of the guys with the guns and take off to save your automobile's tires from theft; how horrible and emasculating it is not to have a TV screen showing sports in your face at literally every moment.
DOESN'T THAT SUCK?
DON'T BE A GIRL, BUY OUR SHIT.

Date: 2010-02-08 09:55 pm (UTC)You don't get people taking your side in a way that matters by guilting them into it by yelling privilege at them or telling them how they have a choice and the other group doesn't.
They have to buy into it, body & soul, and believe it to be true. Then they run with it.
"Privilege" is one of the words that has driven me out of more dialogues with groups I am in support of, because I have no interest in being told about how goddamned privileged I am by those who are not. since the Hierarchy of Privilege Finger Pointing can only go from the disempowered towards the empowered.
Do I think 'privilege' exists? abso-fucking-lutely.
Do I think it gets trotted out instead of actual reasoned conversation more often than not? You bet.
"If you cared, you'd do this."
Gosh, then I guess every time I don't meet your external standard of behavior, it demonstrates that I don't honestly care. At some point, that leads to people genuinely not caring anymore. If you're going to be hanged as a thief for stealing a loaf of bread or for robbing the treasury, why not at least steal enough to live well until you get caught?
